Power Plugs & Sockets

The 12 volt socket, more commonly known as a car cigarette lighter (socket), is the only means of providing power to external devices such as mobile phones, tablets and GPS navigation systems to name a few. While originally designed to light a cigarette, modern day drivers and passages opt more to use it for powering their favourite devices or to charge a phone while on a night out.

Today, it is nearly possible to power just about anything from high tech tablets to kids toys, and even some automotive power tools could take advantage of the socket. With the right adapter such as an AC accessory, you can turn the socket into a normal household one and plug in anything from TV's to Laptop Computers and more.

Even though cigarette smoking's popularity has declined over recent years (for the good health of everyone), it is very unlikely that we will see the end to car cigarette sockets.
