Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum load this extension lead can handle?

The extension lead is rated for 13A, which equates to approximately 3000 watts at 230V.

Can I use this extension lead with high-powered appliances?

Yes, as long as the total power consumption of all connected appliances does not exceed 13A. However, it's not recommended for continuous use with very high-powered appliances like space heaters.

How do the individual switches work?

Each switch controls the power supply to its corresponding socket. When the switch is on, power flows to the socket; when it's off, the power is cut.

What do the neon indicators mean?

The neon indicators light up when the individual socket is powered on, providing a visual confirmation of power status.

Can I replace the fuse?

Yes, this extension lead is designed with a replaceable fuse. Consult a qualified electrician if you need to replace the fuse.

Is the extension lead suitable for outdoor use?

No, this extension lead is designed for indoor use only and should not be exposed to moisture or direct sunlight.

What is the cable length of the extension lead?

The cable length is 1 meter.

What safety certifications does this extension lead have?

This extension lead complies with relevant UK safety standards.

Troubleshooting

Extension lead not providing power.

Check the mains socket and the extension lead's plug. Ensure the extension lead switch is on, and the neon indicator is lit.

A device is not working when plugged in.

Check if the individual switch for that socket is on. Also, verify that the device is functioning correctly by testing it in another socket.

Extension lead feels warm.

Reduce the number of devices connected or use devices with lower power consumption. Check the total load does not exceed 13A.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Individual switches offer energy-saving benefits by allowing control over each connected device.
  • Neon indicators provide clear visual confirmation of power status for each socket.
  • Compact design with a 1-meter cable is suitable for placement on desks or close to power sources.
  • Individually switched outlets enhance safety by allowing users to disconnect individual appliances without unplugging the entire unit.

Cons

  • The 1-meter cable length may be limiting for some setups requiring more distance from the power source.
  • Limited to three outlets, which might not be sufficient for all needs.
  • The plastic material might be prone to damage with excessive force or impact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Plug the extension lead directly into a standard UK mains socket.
  2. Plug your devices into the extension lead's sockets.
  3. Use the individual switches to control power to each device. The neon indicator will light up when the socket is powered on.

Compatibility:

This extension lead is compatible with standard UK plugs and operates on 240V AC. Ensure that the combined power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed the 13A rating.

Care:

  • Unplug the extension lead before cleaning.

  • Inspect the cable and sockets regularly for damage.
  • Store in a dry place when not in use.
