Guess three of these next then, unless anyone knows better and cheaper.
EUROPEAN PLUG CONVERTER: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo
Logic says, any USB power supply should work, shouldn't it? :confused:

Why not cut off the Europlug & just wire it to a normal plug?

Surely that makes more sense than messing about with adaptors?

When it's a transformer. ( No, not a Robot in disguise. ;) :D ) The plug terminals are an integral part of the unit. :( :( Happens a lot with this sort of low voltage kit.
