Product Information
Full details
The 5 Star 4-Way Extension Lead is designed for homeowners and office professionals who need to power multiple devices from a single wall outlet. Its primary benefit is the combination of four individual sockets and an expansive 5-meter reach, making it ideal for reaching distant equipment. The main caveat to keep in mind is that it is rated for 13 Amps, meaning users should avoid overloading the lead with multiple high-wattage appliances simultaneously to prevent tripping or overheating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the extension lead is straightforward: simply plug the lead into a standard UK wall socket and ensure the connection is secure. When using this product, avoid daisy-chaining multiple extension leads together, as this increases the risk of fire and electrical damage. To maintain the lead, keep it away from sources of moisture and heat. If you notice any fraying on the cable or physical damage to the casing, discontinue use immediately. Regularly wipe the surface with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust accumulation.
