Important note for using with external power supply
To avoid any flickering problem due to any kind of electrical leakage from cheap power supply, we suggest to use a 12V linear stabilized power supply.
Most of the stabilized power supplies on the market are of the low quality switching type and cause current leakage that can damage the FLAT BOX.
We offer one of this in the section "Reccomended accessories" with EU plug. US plug will be available on request.
