    Just get the converter from walmart, its cheap plugs into the wall and then u plug the cig lighter adapter into the unit. This way there are no electrical hazzards.

    did you check what wavelength they are? If my memory serves me correctly natural moonlight is emitted with a majority of the light at 465nm?
