Lilly car adapter

If the lilly shouldn't be used with the cigarette lighter because it is not regulated, why does it even come with a car adapter???

Is this true? If so, would make things much easier for me!

It makes it easier to connect on a temporary basis.

If it is going to be installed pemanently then it is better to hard wire it in, somewhere discreetly.

1. like I said, on a temporary basis it is fine, but hardwire for pemanent installs.

2. I would not recommend using the Lilliputs 12V 'egg' regulator, they are cheap cr@p, run it from a proper regualted supply. (PC PSU or a well made 12v-12v DC regulator.)
