Hi, Anyone knows if a Lighter socket - 220V conveter is available in Bangalore and how much it may cost? I have seen one in eBay. I wanted to see the thing before buying.

Thanks

should be. I have seen this in most Mahindra Jeeps sold to the Armed Forces.

Is there any gadget which does the conversion other way , i.e converts AC to 12Volt lighter adapter output ?

The reason behind this is to use car accessories like Tire Inflator / Car Flash Light / Car Vaccuum Cleaner inside our house.

Check with APC - they have a nice convertor that works nicely as an airplane or automobile power adaptor to connect stuff like laptops, mobilephones and other small electricals.

If you want more serious power (to run a lamp, a fan or a desert cooler) there is a heavy-duty converter which you can mount in the engine bay and then run leads off...obviously you will need to keep the engine running for such uses.
