Transformer/adaptor for electronic appliances
Any one know where to get the transformers/adaptors for electronic appliances that convert 220V to 110V please? And how much would they be? Thanks!
hey seabiscuit...
the device you're looking for is called a step-down power converter. i got mine from a hardware store (eg, Harvey Norman, Ace-Hardware & such...) but they are rather costly there. costs me about 80SGD for the 300W one. as an alternative, you can try looking in smaller electronical shops...they might have something a little cheaper.
also, take note of the converters "wattage", they come in 100, 200 & 300W's depending on the hardware you're using it for. the higher the wattage, the more expensive they get.
ta!

Just checked my TV's specs it uses 140W. And just checked with a smaller electronics shop -- a 300W one costs $35, and a 60W costs $12.5. Not sure about the quality...I guess I'll go to a brandname store to get a good quality one and pay a bit of premium. A bad one can catch fire I think....
Thanks much!!
