American baby projector, will it run on 240v or fry? (Pic)

[Tampon]

We have bought a projector from the US (they don't sell it outside of the states).

Friend bought a American fan and plugged it in via a adapter and it burnt the motor as soon as it was switched on.

I have read up and found that there are small converters available but also that they aren;t always needed.

The plug reads

Input: 100-240v ~ 50/60Hz 0.15A
Output: 6.0V -- 0.5A

Now as I read that the plug converts down to 6amps and will do so from a 240v input as well. So I could use a straight US to UK plug adaptor (I have one here already)

Any body know what the score is? I don't want to fry it as it took 2 weeks to get here, but don't want to spend another £15 on a bulky converter hanging off the wall if I don't need it.

Yeah that is what i am thinking but like you I am not a electrician.

My wife however will plug me into the wall if the expensive "perfect" projector that should help get our screaming hard to sleep son, turns on then off forever...

Cheers boys.

Used the small adapter I have and it works like a dream, no need for a converter.

Thanks for your help.

Interested in seeing what this projector is, tbh.

Nothing amazing but looks less child like in design and has a timer, mains powered, different music/noises, moving changeable projection and also voice activation.
