I have lost the wall adapter for my flashlight which has an input rating of 12DVC 750mA. Can I safely use a 1000mA adapter as a replacement?

Yes you can use it. What you can't use is the opossite, if your device requires 1000 ma, you can't use an adapter of less than 1000 ma.

This particular wall adapter may or may not give satisfactory results @ 1000 mA. I attached the 5 that I purchased to a variable load to see how much current it would produce @ 12V, and the best I got consistently was around 500 mA. It does produce 1000 mA. of power, just not @ 12V output but instead around 8.9-9 V. I hope this helps. CG

Thank You. But its impossible to buy the correct adapter without reviewing the voltage and Current specifications. But after I asked my question I found the right one on Amazon, and it was not this one, although they look the same.

I would say "NO" mainly because the plug that goes into the power source will only fit on a 120 volt socket. Also, the adapter itself will only operate on 120 volts.

The adapter on the one I received states that it is only 250mAh. Not sure that is really enough to power anything......

Hi Quy, No. We recommend using an adaptor with output voltage of: DC 5.0 V, 1 500 mA. -Anthony

I'm not sure. Call LEDwholesalers they might be able to get you a different power adapter. They were very helpful when I had questions.

Here is everything it says on the adaptor: Switching power supply, Model IVP0500-1000, Input 100-240VAC, 50-60HZ 0.2A, Output 5.0V-1.0A.Hop this helps, Bob

I ran into the same problem. The original is 7v 250ma with a .135" or 3.43mm coaxial plug, center +If you can find a power supply that is close, you will need this tip http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=171-PA35135-1-Evirtualkey11180000virtualkey171-PA35135-1-EThe replacement from Skil is too expensive.

Same answer as Joan. I asked the manufacturer that question and they asked me to call their 800 line so they could help me get one. The risk of using a generic adapter is that if the amperage isn't correct you can burn out the unit.

Hi Robert, I can't say for sure without knowing the wavelength of the flashlight you're wanting to replace. The Power Tek shines at 395 nanometers. If the one you want to replace shines in the same wavelength then it's a pretty safe bet the Power Tek will do a better job.

Without some sort of adapter (I have one flashlight that comes with an adapter but I believe it is for AAA's there is no way.

I use a multi voltage adapter from Wal-Mart. It works great. Just have to make sure to correctly set the voltage and plug the correct adapter onto the connecting lead. The adapter sells for around $14.00 and can be bought with or without a USB socket.

Absolutely!!!! Better to use the adapter than batteries; they drain very quickly. Those other answers that state it only uses batteries are incorrect. If you have doubts contact mighty bright for a definitive answer. I will only say that from day one I have been using an adapter; it connects at the top rear of the light.

If you are asking about the lighted Meter then From the Product Description on Amazon "The wall adapter can be cut at the wall end, and this puppy can be use in a 12v Vehicle!"

your batteries will either melt or the adapter will burn out. this is not going to work. I suggest you either find a similar high voltage batteries in europe to use, or if it is that important, then spend money on an actually worthwhile converter and not this cheap plastic knockoff that's only use is an oversized plug. also, check your adapter. make sure what it says. if it says 120-240 v, then you're gold. if not, then at the very least stay away from this thing.

"Powered by DC 12V 500mA adaptor (not included)"So any 12v adapter, that provides 500ma (0.5a) or more will do.
