Changing plug

[StevenA]

Hi all just want to check something before i do something i maybe shouldn't 🙄 I've got an overtank luminaire with a two prong plug (from Asia somewhere i should think) and want to know if its ok to cut the plug off and pop on a good old British plug?

you need to check that the voltage input is 220v, if it is a multi voltage device ie 110v/220v 60/50hz then you will be fine.

It came with a UK adapter plug so i assume that means its ok to change over?

is it two prong round or O O or flat I I

also does it have the plug at the end of the wires or is it in a brick? i might be best to put up a picture to be 100% sure

I did with my European plug on a filter. Only be a live and neutral wire in there so lop it off and wire to a British plug. Job done 🙂

If you have used it with a uk adapter then it should be fine as long as there isn't any type of step down transformer on the adapter!
