I was looking at importing the following item from Japan to the UK as a Christmas present but then got mind boggled by trying to work out what I needed to get it working with the UK mains. I found some small plug adapters but none of these changed the voltage, only the connection. I vaguely worked out what values the transformer needed but couldn't believe the only suitable transformer weighed 4 kilo's and was bigger than the actual appliance.
If someone could take the time to work out exactly what I need it would really be appreciated. I want to be able to use the item safely without risk of damaging it or burning down the house for Christmas so please be sure of any recommendations.
I can't post a link to the item as I'm not allowed to post url's till I have 5 posts, but it is located at HiyemaShop.com, listed as a Aquapict LED Jellyfish, a little bizarre I know. The electrical information is listed as...
AC100V, 50/60Hz, DC5V, 1.2A
Thanks for any help,
Mark
