Product Information

Full details

This Kenable 4-gang extension lead is designed for household and office use, offering a cost-effective solution for managing multiple devices. Its key benefit lies in individually switched sockets, allowing users to reduce electricity consumption by turning off unused appliances. A potential caveat is its 13 Amp total load capacity, requiring users to be mindful of connected device power draw. Key features include four UK plug sockets, neon indicator switches, a 2-meter cable, and wall-mounting capability.

FAQs

What is the maximum power this extension lead can handle?

The extension lead has a total load capacity of 13 Amps at 250 Volts, which is equivalent to approximately 3250 Watts.

Can I use this extension lead outdoors?

No, this extension lead is designed for indoor household or office use only and is not weatherproof.

Does this extension lead have surge protection?

This model does not include surge protection. It is a basic extension lead for power distribution and individual switching.

How do I know if a socket is switched on?

Each socket has an individual neon switch. When the switch is 'on', the neon light will illuminate, indicating that the socket is active and receiving power.

Can I mount this extension lead on the wall?

Yes, the extension lead has keyhole fastenings on the back, allowing it to be easily mounted on a wall or under a desk using appropriate fixings.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable length is 2 meters.

Is this compliant with UK safety standards?

Yes, the extension lead is BS1363/A compliant, meeting British safety standards.

Troubleshooting

No power to any socket

Check that the extension lead is fully plugged into the wall socket. Verify that the wall socket itself is working by plugging in another appliance. Ensure the main switch (if applicable) on the extension lead is in the 'on' position.

One or more sockets not working

Check the individual neon switch for that socket; ensure it is in the 'on' position. Try plugging a different known working device into the suspect socket. If the issue persists, the individual switch or socket may be faulty.

Extension lead feels warm

This may indicate that the total load of connected devices is close to or exceeding the 13 Amp limit. Unplug one or more devices to reduce the load. If the lead remains warm after reducing the load, discontinue use and contact customer support.

Neon indicator light not illuminating

The neon light indicates the switch is 'on'. If the socket is working but the light is out, the neon bulb may have failed. This does not typically affect the function of the socket itself, but it means the visual power indicator is lost for that switch.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Cost-effective power management through individual switches
  • Clear visual indication of power status with neon lights
  • Designed for safe and compliant use in the UK
  • Flexible placement options with a 2-meter cable and wall-mounting feature
  • Durable construction suitable for regular household or office use

Cons

  • Limited total load capacity of 13 Amps, requiring attention to connected devices
  • Fixed cable length may be insufficient for some large spaces
  • No surge protection included
  • Plastic construction, while durable, may not suit all aesthetic preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the extension lead into a standard UK mains power socket. Connect your devices into the four available sockets. Use the individual switches to turn power on or off to each socket as needed. For wall mounting, use the keyhole slots on the back of the unit with appropriate screws (not included) and wall fixings for your wall type.

Compatibility: This extension lead is compatible with all standard UK 3-pin (BS1363) plugs. It is designed for a total load not exceeding 13 Amps (approximately 3250 Watts at 250 Volts). Ensure the combined power draw of all connected devices does not exceed this limit to prevent overheating or tripping.

Care: Keep the extension lead clean and dry. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe down the unit; avoid harsh chemicals or solvents. Ensure the cable is not kinked, crushed, or damaged. Periodically check the cable and plug for any signs of wear or damage. Store in a dry place when not in use.
