My prayers has been answered for DC Car Lighter Socket Adaptor. I couldn't have the time to look for for it but a friend happens to just bought it and don't really use it. So, without much hassels I've got it from him for RM 10. Of course its made in china, what doesn't? But there's always that upgraded QC and specs from China right?.


Ok, so far it has been tested with Mp3 modulator that can be extreamly useful in cars. Thanks to it creator but my friend hasn't done it with a vacuum cleaner such as I have yet. That'll be my job. I'll try it tonight, hopefully it'll work.

----Updated---- the next day.

Hello everyone,
Bad news, after I setup everything and click the "on" switch for my vacuum cleaner it when "Splat!". An electrifying sound blast out of the plugged and the burning plastic smell was in the air. Lucky nothing bad than that happen, I think maybe the fuse got burned. Can't check it because the screw needs a special screwdriver, different point. I returned it to my friend with a sulky smile, what can I say, its not working as expected.

Everything else my wall plug, my vacuum cleaner checked right after that incident and everything is working. Thank god.

Keep on looking for a working socket adaptor.

AC to DC Car Cigarette Lighter Socket Adaptor

I'm looking for a AC to DC Car Cigarette Lighter Socket Adaptor for Malaysian home usage. I want to expand the usage of my car vacuum cleaner into my home. Fell kind a waste for the vacuum cleaner to just sit there waiting to be use only in the car, plus with the lenghty 5 metres power chord, it would bring a lot of use for the house.

The thing is the vacuum cleaner power comes from car ciggarette lighter direct current port and it didn't have extendable plug for house wall-socket.

I've been looking to a few DIY stores but still no hopes except for the same advice "Jalan Pasar". Don't really like to go there yet.

So, any other suggestions from you guys. This image is for europe version, I don't know wether it can be use for malaysia wall socket or not. You can check it out here. If you have any suggestions please write it in the comment box below. It would be a very great help to me. Read More and Photos After The Jump...
