Hi,

I have a Bastid light, as expected this came with a US style plug, 2 flat prongs. So now I need an adaptor to UK three pin.

I am wondering whether it is just one of those simple plugs I need or whether I need to convert the voltage too as I think US is 110V compared to our 230V.

Can anyone post a link to an online source of a suitable adaptor that I can just buy and use with confidence it will work that wouldd be great.

Thanks.

The one that DX sell that everyone else buys when they order the light 😉

I just use a shaver socket adaptor to be honest!

£1 shaver adapter is fine, so is the DX one, but you can buy a shaver adapter from the pound-shop or boots & not have to wait 2-6weeks from DX.

Poundland had some travel adaptors in last time I looked.
It's only the physical pins you need to adapt as the charger is 120-240v auto sensing.

Fit a 3 pin plug to the cable.

sv - They are usually just pins sticking out of the charger - no cable.

I had the same problem with an american bought camera and found Fujitsu multi adaptor to do the job really well:
