Product Information
Full details
This Daewoo four-way extension lead is designed for users needing to power multiple devices from a single outlet, especially in situations where outlets are scarce or awkwardly placed. Its key benefit is the extended reach provided by a 5-meter cable, allowing devices to be positioned further from the wall socket. A potential caveat is that it's a standard 13-amp lead, so high-power appliances should be used with consideration of the total load.

FAQs
What is the maximum power this extension lead can handle?
This is a 13-amp extension lead, which is suitable for most standard household devices. The total combined power draw of all connected appliances should not exceed 13 amps (approximately 3000 watts at 230V).
Can I plug high-power appliances like a kettle or heater into this lead?
It is not recommended to use high-power appliances such as kettles, toasters, heaters, or hair dryers simultaneously on this extension lead, as they can draw a lot of current and potentially exceed the 13A limit, leading to overheating or tripping.
How do I know if the extension lead is working?
The extension lead features a neon power indicator light. When the lead is switched on and receiving power, this light will illuminate.
Is the cable length suitable for gaming setups?
Yes, the 5-meter cable length provides ample reach to connect gaming consoles, TVs, and other peripherals, allowing for flexible placement of your entertainment system.
Can I use this extension lead outdoors?
No, this extension lead is designed for indoor use only. Using it outdoors could be a safety hazard and damage the product.
What should I do if the neon indicator light is not on?
First, check that the extension lead's plug is securely inserted into a working wall socket. If the socket is confirmed to be live, and the indicator still does not light up, there might be an issue with the extension lead itself. Discontinue use and check the product's warranty if applicable.
Troubleshooting
No power to connected devices
Check that the extension lead's plug is fully inserted into the wall socket. Ensure the wall socket itself is working by testing it with another appliance. Verify that the neon power indicator on the extension lead is lit; if not, there may be an issue with the lead itself.
Intermittent power or devices not working reliably
Check for loose connections at both the wall socket and the device plugs. Ensure the total power draw of all connected devices does not exceed the 13A limit. Try connecting fewer devices to see if the issue resolves.
Extension lead feels warm during use
This can be normal if multiple devices are drawing significant power, but it should not be excessively hot. Uncoil the cable fully. Disconnect some devices if you suspect overloading. If the lead becomes very hot, unplug it immediately and discontinue use.
