Some products are almost too useful to be called gadgets! Like all brilliant ideas, the concept is so simple; take 12 volts DC from your car battery via the cigar lighter socket, and turn it into 240V AC, exactly like you would get from the mains.
Put simply, this power inverter allows you to use mains powered devices in your car, caravan, or anywhere with a 12V lighter socket. Plug your mains-powered device into the standard 3-pin socket, switch on and off you go!
Obviously a car battery cannot supply the huge amount power normally available via the mains, but 200 Watts can do some serious work For example, a 32 inch LCD TV only uses 160W and laptop chargers take around 100W. If you wished, you could even run ten 20W fluorescent lights! If you should get too enthusiastic though, the 4-way safety protection system will cut off the supply to ensure nothing gets damaged. Utterly indispensable!
