EDIT: I just realised in my bathroom there is a wall jack, and although it says SHAVERS ONLY, there are two sockets in there, one for 240 and one for 110. It also says "AC Voltage. Switch off to reset." Would this work? Or would it blow up the whole socket? It doesn't say anything about how many hz or watts it allows.
I don't have my 110V one with me right now, but I do have an old pair bought in NZ, which says it uses only 13W. I thought it would be a lot more than that.
How many watts would an average shaver socket allow up to in NZ?
Say it only allows 15W and my 110V clippers use like 20W, would it blow up my clippers or the socket, or would my clippers just run a little slower/not work properly?
The transformer in the socket will overheat and cut out after a short time. I was using one of those sockets as a stepdown transformer for a DJ mixer for a while, and if I had the gooseneck light on it would cut out after about 10 mins.
