My girlfriend has bought some reduced lights at B&Q because they had no adaptor.
They were in the reductions with the Christmas lights but are not Christmas themed as they are flower type decorations. This being so she wants to put them up at home.
The label on the lights says 4.5Volts, max 1.8 watts.
I found an old adaptor at home (which I think was for an old personal CD player). It has the output listed as 4.5V, max 6 watts.
Am I correct in thinking I could use this adaptor if I wired it up? Does it work in the same way as garden lights in that as long as I don't draw more than 6 watts off the adaptor then it would be ok?
If it can be used then as well as having the polarity correct I would need to figure out how to wire it up as both the adaptor and the lights have a male end. Other than cutting wires are there any female to female couplers available? (The connections are of the usual round sort that are common on multi voltage adaptors).
Thanks in advance,
Daz
