Cree bike lights. Mains adaptor

[Grannygrinder]

I've bought a Cree bike light from a mate who got it off ebay.
The charger has a 2 pin flat blade plug on it.
Will this work in a 2 pin shaver/euro adaptor or do i need something else.
If i need something else what do i need?

US adaptor is the way forward

Or for the brave/stupid, strip back the insulation from a some flex, wrap it onto the pins, apply copious quantities of insulating tap, bung a 3-pin plug on t'other end, and voila * :shock: :shock:


* Probably best you don't, but it worked for me as a temporary fix...

umm just cut the plug off and wire in a 3 pin, if its a 2 pin on there it will just have a live (brown) and neg (blue) no earth easy peasy

If it's anything like mine, the adaptor and two-pin plug are a single unit, so not an option unfortunately.
