Answer 3 :
Go to Radio Shack or Walmart Luggage area and buy a converter kit. Not to expensive. It will tell you on the package it can be used everywhere in the world. I would leave the curling irons at home and buy local. Small electrical items are very cheap. Have a good trip. Cheers
Answer 4 :
You'll need a 13-amp plug (3 pin), specifically, BS1363 plug.
Answer 5 :
Laptops will automatically convert AC110 to AC240. As for curler, unless its meant for travelling or has a switch to change from 110V to 240V, then u can use that. In Singapore we use AC240. Singapore uses UK standard 3 pin plug. Anyway, you can always borrow it from the hotel, I always do that. Enjoy shopping
Answer 6 :
Hi, I had the same question and with my research I found out that Most laptops dont need the power converter. You will only need the appropriate plug (adapter) to use it in Singapore. Just to double check Look for the voltage necessary for the laptop (it will be on the rectangular block of the power supply cord). You should see something like 100-240V. This means you can use any power source that has voltage in that range. And for Curling iron get the adapter with 1600 Watts. Note that 50 watts converter is no good for Curling iron. I brought one today from Ebay for $16.00. In store its more costly. following is the one I brought. It comes with plugs too
