Hi,

I've just purchased a new projector. It's a Chinese product (Xiaomi MJJGTYDS01FM Mijia Laser Projector TV 4K).

It comes with a Chinese plug so I had to buy an adapter, on the adapter packaging it says to ensure the device is duel voltage. I'm not sure that the projector is, all it says on the lead is 250V.

I'm a bit concerned about plugging it in, I don't want to damage it! I've posted some photos of the adapter, what it says on the back of pack as well as the lead of the device which gives its voltage info.

I'd appreciate some advise on this.

Thanks

Stuart

Made for the chinese market almost always means non CE. THe chinese have even go so far as creating the China export logo which is almost identical to the CE marking. Agreed products made in china to western standards are absolutely fine.

Not true. The “China Export” thing is just an Internet rumour.

It’s not a real thing in that it’s not an actual compliance scheme. It is something the Chinese manufacturers do and its real enough I got a safety alert on it a couple of years ago. Can’t remember if it was from the IEE or IEC but it was a fairly reputable source.
