Product Information

Full details

This guide is for anyone needing to expand their power outlets with individual control, offering a convenient way to manage multiple devices. Its key benefit is the individual switching for each socket, allowing for precise power management and energy saving. A minor caveat is its 13A maximum current, which requires awareness of total power draw. This 5m white extension lead provides four Type G sockets, each with its own on/off switch and neon indicator, a rewireable 13A plug, and keyholes for wall mounting.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum total power this extension lead can handle?

The extension lead is rated for a maximum of 13 Amps (A) in total across all four sockets.

Can I use this extension lead outdoors?

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

How do I know if a socket is on or off?

Each socket has an individual 'On/Off' switch with a neon indicator light. The light illuminates when the switch is 'On', showing that the socket is powered.

Can I replace the fuse in the plug?

Yes, the plug is rewireable and contains a standard 13A fuse that can be replaced if it blows.

What does 'individually switched' mean?

It means that each of the four sockets has its own dedicated on/off switch, allowing you to control the power to each plugged-in device separately.

Is this extension lead safe to mount on a wall?

Yes, it features keyholes for secure wall mounting, allowing for tidy cable management.

What is the cable length?

The cable length is 5 meters.

Troubleshooting

No power to any socket

Check that the main plug is fully inserted into the wall socket. Ensure the wall socket is functioning by testing it with another appliance. Verify that the main 13A fuse in the plug is intact.

One or more sockets not working

Confirm that the individual switch for that socket is in the 'ON' position. Check if the device plugged into that specific socket is functioning correctly. If the lead is old, the switch itself may have failed.

Neon indicator light not illuminating

The neon indicator light confirms power is being supplied to the socket when the switch is ON. If the light is off but the device works, the indicator bulb may have failed, but the socket is still functional. If the device does not work and the light is off, check the switch and overall power.

Overheating or unusual noise

Immediately switch off and unplug the extension lead. This indicates an overload or internal fault. Do not use it again. Check the total power consumption of connected devices to ensure it does not exceed 13A.
