Can I use this extension lead outdoors?

Does this extension lead have surge protection?

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

How do I mount this extension lead to a wall?

The extension lead has keyholes on the back for mounting. You will need to provide your own suitable screws for the surface you wish to attach it to.

What type of plug does it use?

Are the sockets individually fused?

What is the cable length?

Troubleshooting

No power to connected devices

Ensure the main UK plug is securely inserted into the wall socket. Check that the individual switches on the extension lead are in the 'on' position. Verify that the LED indicator light is illuminated. Test the wall socket with another device to confirm it is functioning.

LED indicator light not working

Although the extension lead may still function, an unlit LED could indicate a fault. Try connecting the extension lead to a different, known-working socket. If the LED remains off, consider replacing the unit.

Intermittent power or flickering lights

This could indicate a loose connection within the extension lead or an overloaded circuit. Ensure all plugs are firmly seated in the sockets. Check the total power draw of connected devices against the 13A limit. If the issue persists, discontinue use and replace the extension lead.
