The batteries leaked and now my son's treasured Dream Lite will not work. Do you think it will work if I change to an adapter?

I really don't know. I would ask someone who does repair work . I have only used the adaptor and have had no problems. So sorry. I know kids get so attached to these night lights.

I never used the batteries only the adapter that I bought at the time of purchase.

I returned the viewer for same problem. No help offering an adapter for sale. Didn't want to depend on batteries. Seller very unhelpful.

Here are the specs on the label of the adapter that is used to charge the light: Class 2 Power Supply, Model HT72005, Input 120 VAC 60Hz 9W, Output 12VDC 500mA. I wish I knew what all of that means, but I don't, and I hope it helps! If it were me, I'd take all of that alphabet soup down to Radio Shack and let somebody there find a replacement part. I found a few adapters online that come close, and they all cost $7 or less, but you wouldn't want "close" to risk burning out the spotlight.

the original adapter works for me. so it is able to charge this battery upto 100%, but the battery does not last more than 3 hours (almost like the original battery with 6 cells, with the 9 cells i was expecting longer charge time, now i wonder if it was due to the need for a new adaptor? or just that the battery was not of high quality, i'll need to cross check the voltage and amperage numbers before spending more on this)

I would think it would work with the adaptor. All I can say though is the batteries didn't last very long here in the US, I don't know if the adaptor would effect the lifespan of the batteries or not. It takes about 12 hours to charge and should last a day or two. Mine barely made it 24 hours after about 8 mos of use.

I am odd man out, but mine would not work with AAA batteries. The slots were loose and the batteries kept slipping out of the slots and would not recharge. No problem with any other size, but mine will not charge aaa...sorry.

You could buy an adapter but if you contact the seller they should work with you.They don't want a bad rating with Amazon.

I am not sure what model of light you have but I use my adapter on a new mighty bright and an old flat clip on and it works well on both.

Mine did not work after changing the first set of batteries. The original batteries were just a little bit smaller than a battery like a Duracell, therefore there was poor contact. I fixed mine by taking an exacto knife (or very small screw driver) and lifting the metal plate that goes next to the male end of the batteries. I did this with all male contacts and with all three candles. They have now worked for 1.5 years.

I was not able to make the adapter work on my Dragon. I think that the problem was the adapter was not well made and as a result mine did not work.

It will work it just wont light up. If you didn't get one with back-lit already, it wont have the ribbon port where it gets juice for the light. Comment and let me know if this helps!

Good luck. Had to throw mine away. Be sure to check the charger it was the reason my battery was bad.

At least yours works. The OTTlite I had quit working because it had a faulty transformer. I thought it was the bulb, but after spending $15.00 for a new one, discovered that it was the transformer. OTTlite never responded to my requests, had no replacements available, no suggestions on repairs...nothing. A transformer of the correct voltage from an electrical supplier cost nearly $30.00. I trashed the crappy OTTlite and bought a similar light from Lowe's for about $20.00. It has worked fine...no problems.

You can purchase a replacement from emjoi.com. Search for emagine adapter and it should come up. I just purchased one for 19.99 from there.

Sorry, I don't know. After I received the adapter and read the instructions I never used it out of concern I might over-charge multiple batteries. I've misplaced the adapter so I can't verify what batteries it will fit.

It should work fine with an adapter and transformer. The battery life is not long.

There are 3 AA to 1 D adapters and then there are 5 AAA to 1 D adapters, both result in a 1.5v D cell size battery unit. Either should FIT in this and any D size application. Voltage wise the result is still 1.5 volts x 2 which the LED needs. However, there are some wattage (amp/hour) differences that may affect the output and life of the instrument when adapters are in use. It shouldn't damage the LED "bulb", it just may not perform as desired.
