Canadian Tire LED Flashlight
(1/1)
Dwaine:
Bought a Canadian Tire LED flashlight for my next camping trip. Opening up the package, the first thing I noticed was the power supply to charge the flashlight. It a dual AC/DC charger. So I thought, let's measure the exposed DC plug ends when plugged in on the AC outlet.
Yep... 6volts DC live. At least it's not 120volts AC shooting out. I expected better.
Nominal Animal:
If I was a baby, I'd say the wall wart looks very much like having a shiny nipple... perfect size for grabbing, too.
Dwaine:
That’s how you naturally grab the plug. The charger is actually Intertek tested. I guess it’s perfectly fine to have it hot with 6 volts.
