Full details
This Lindy 2m 6-Way UK Mains Power Extension is designed for users needing to power multiple devices from a single UK mains outlet, offering a reliable solution for home and office environments with restricted socket access. Its primary benefit is the ability to expand power connectivity to six devices, while the 2-meter cable provides flexible placement options. A potential caveat is the fixed cable length, which may not suit all spatial requirements. Key features include the capacity for six UK mains-powered devices, a 2-meter extension lead, integrated mounting holes for organization, and compliance with safety standards.

How do I mount the extension lead to a wall?
The extension lead features integrated mounting holes. You will need to use appropriate screws or fixings (not supplied) suitable for your wall type to securely attach it.
What type of plugs does this extension lead accept?
This extension lead is designed for UK mains-powered devices and accepts standard UK 3-pin plugs.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The Lindy 2m 6-Way UK Mains Power Extension is backed by a 2-year warranty for long-term reliability.
Does it have surge protection?
The product description does not specify surge protection features. It is a standard mains extension lead.
Can I daisy-chain multiple extension leads together?
It is not recommended to daisy-chain extension leads, as this can overload the circuit and pose a safety risk. This unit is designed to connect up to six devices to a single wall socket.
Troubleshooting
No power to connected devices.
Check that the main plug is securely inserted into the wall socket. Verify that the power indicator LED on the extension lead is illuminated. Test the wall socket with another known working device. Ensure the total load does not exceed the 3000W rating.
One or more outlets are not working.
Check the connections for the specific outlet. If other outlets are working, it may indicate an issue with that individual socket. Ensure the total power draw is within the limit; an overload can disable multiple sockets. Try unplugging some devices to reduce the load.
Extension lead feels warm during use.
Slight warmth may be normal when under significant load. However, if it becomes excessively hot to the touch, immediately unplug all connected devices and the extension lead itself. Check that the total power consumption is within the 3000W limit. Avoid using extension cords for prolonged periods at maximum load if possible.
