European Plug

[pastafreak]

I have a table lamp with a European plug. What do I need to adapt it? I think it was made in Germany.

Remove the European plug and replace it with a British one.

Or just buy a European adaptor.

One of these, Pasta.

No reason you can't just hack the plug off and fit a UK one.

Mine came from The Argos website but the link was too long to put on here.

Can I get them anywhere?...Maplins...Wilko?

Ah...ok Tilly. Thanks for that. Don't think I'll fit a new one. I'm sure it's easy...but I want to be sure it will work...;-0

Argos.

Much better to just replace with a normal UK 3-pin.

Pasta, my suggestion is a plug. You plug it into your socket and then plug in the lamp. It's not a new plug for the lamp.

There are two different types of German plug, if it is the flatish one then this is what you want.

Yes...I guessed that Tilly.
Talbot....I'll have a look at the plug later. Thanks for the info.

I believe I have a Europlug...https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europlug

Pasta....just chop off the ruddy Euro plug and replace it with a British one....about 50p from any ironmongers !

[pastafreak]

Mikey...I've already said I'm not into messing about with wires. So an adaptor it will be. ;-)

[mikey4444]

Its a very easy thing to do Pasta...isn't there anybody that can do it for you ?

I would if I lived closer !

[pastafreak]

Thanks for the offer Mikey...
Maybe I'll ask someone. ;-)

But why when I have given a link to the perfect solution?

I use these myself if I buy an electrical product from Germany ... the guarantee stays intact.
