Premier launch adaptor that will cut your Christmas lighting display battery costs

Christmas suppliers Premier Decorations have come up with an adaptor that will enable stockists to make huge savings on their lit product display battery costs.

More than 1000 of Premier’s lines – the vast majority – are now battery-powered thanks to the use of low-energy LEDs. While many products will run for several days on a single set of batteries, keeping in-store displays running consistently at optimum displays to maintain their sales appeal poses a challenge for retailers – and can mean high battery costs, not to mention the added staff cost to change them all

Premier have now designed a series of adaptors that convert products that run off two, three or four AA or AAA batteries to mains power, with the use of a transformer.

Each adaptor can convert 10 battery operated products to mains, and can be switched on and off with the flick of a single switch.

There are three versions , all with interchangeable 3M connecting leads so you can combine AA and AAA. They are suitable for display purposes with any battery operated products that use AA or AAA batteries, including light sets, animation, lit figurines, lit canvasses, tapestries and candles.

They cost £15 each, supplied in cartons of six (enabling you to convert up to 60 products in total).
