Sorry for yet another DX light thread..., but just popped down to B&Q to buy an adaptor for the odd plug which comes with the charger - two flat pins.

The adaptor does take the pins, and the LED on the transformer lights up green, but has a tendency to slowly spit the unit out. Is the adaptor the right one do you think?

Yup - that had occured to me.... It's just that the pins fit in very loosely - bit worrying....

seriously, I got an adaptor from DX same time as the light and the charger was loose in that one.

If the adaptor is srewed together unscrew and just press the prongs inside together (that the charger pins go into) then gaffer tape the charger and adaptor together for extra strength

fastindian - thanks for that - will take it apart first opportunity!

uplink - bit late now ๐Ÿ™ And I'm pretty sure I didn't pay that much for mine (or did I?! Was a late night drinking purchase ๐Ÿ˜ฏ ).

Aha! Thought I'd paid a bit less - the one I bought was this one;

It's a bit superfluous as I already have the tubular 'improved' bastid from last year and another focusable bastid head-torch. Oh well.
