The Pro-Elec 8-Gang Switched Surge Protected Extension Lead is an essential power management solution for home and office users looking to protect sensitive electronics like computers and A/V equipment. It offers the key benefit of individual power control through dedicated switches and robust surge protection against electrical fluctuations, though users should note it is limited to a 2-meter cable length and a 13A maximum total load.

If a massive surge occurs, the internal protection components may sacrifice themselves to save your connected equipment, at which point the unit should be replaced.
No, the cable length is fixed at 2 meters; avoid daisy-chaining this with other extension leads.
Ensure the extension lead is securely plugged into the wall socket and the wall socket switch is turned on.
Check that the specific individual switch for that outlet is in the ON position and the neon indicator is glowing.
The internal fuse or surge protector may have tripped. Unplug all devices, wait a few minutes, and check the power source.
To install, ensure the device is placed in a dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources. If wall mounting, use the integrated slots on the rear of the casing with appropriate screws. The unit is compatible with all standard UK 3-pin plugs. To maintain safety, do not exceed the 13A maximum load—avoid plugging in multiple high-wattage appliances such as heaters or kettles simultaneously. Clean only with a dry, soft cloth, ensuring the unit is unplugged from the wall outlet before wiping.
