FAQs
How do I know what length of extension lead I need?
As an extension lead is designed to extend the reach of a power source, it's essential you pick the right length as a quick solution and safe connection. To choose the correct length of an extension lead, measure the distance between the power outlet and the device you need to plug in. It's best to choose a slightly longer lead than the exact distance to avoid tension or strain on the cable and allow for obstacles like furniture in the way.
Can I use an extension lead outdoors?
Not all extension leads can be used outdoors, so it's important to check the manufacturer's guidelines, as well as the IP rating of your product. Outdoor extension leads and cable reels with an IP rating of IP44, IP64 or above usually offer higher levels of protection against liquid, dust and dirt.
Will using an extension lead make my electricity bill go up?
Using an extension lead doesn't directly increase your energy costs, as the cost of electricity depends on the power consumption of the devices plugged into it, not the lead itself.
It's always good to remember not to overload the extension lead with lots of devices though, as this can lead to energy wastage or potential safety hazards.
Are there any useful features I should look out for?
Power indicator
Many surge-protected extension leads have an indicator light that shows whether the power is on. Some include additional indicators to show whether the surge protection feature is active and functioning.
Surge protection
Surge protection works by preventing a power surge from damaging the devices plugged into it. It works by detecting when the voltage exceeds a safe level, typically above the standard household voltage of 230V, and shutting off the power.
Gang switches
Gang switches allow you to individually control sockets for energy-efficiency and increased safety when not in use.
