Extension Lead Deals & Offers

Yes for 30 days (y)

https://www.screwfix.com/p/masterplug-weatherproof-box-kit/46169 Yes for £19.99. The extension lead is only 6 metres but the RCD is essential if your main fusebox doesn'have one

Picked up this for £15 yesterday from Asda Didn't need the timer as using smart plugs inside the box https://groceries.asda.com/product/extension-leads-cables/masterplug-weatherproof-outdoor-power-box/1000001094078

Plus collecting locally also means it's easier to return if there are problems, and with christmas coming up, even prime doesn't necessarily mean next day delivery. I've had that problem a couple of times over teh years, so I rarely use prime nowadays.

Will Amazon provide prime membership for free ??.

A needed bit of kit for all the Christmas decorations.

Got 3,Thanks

Ordered 2. Thanks

Unbranded surge protection? Heat because it's Farnell and I've never had any issues with kit from there.

It's 8 quid excluding VAT to get free delivery so will need to spend 2.18 excl vat/ 2.62 incl vat to qualify. Heat added as great price anyway.

Ive got 2 of these and they have been ace. Perfect for plugging the hundreds of hue lamps in. Excellent price from cpc too!

Most users would surely use this for clusters of low demand electronics, not 8 concurrent vacuum cleaners. I have RCD which often used to trigger if an incandescent light bulb suddenly died from a stroke. Forgotten how to change a light bulb now I'm all LED.

Great price @kris8701 (y) . Adding delivery info at the top will be useful (highfive)

Probably best to stick to 4 socket ones generally, maybe 6. I think wattage'''s are coming down but if there's a short - I dunno - it's a topic (!)

No none. Thanks for posting the deal.

Many wall warts, those big bulky power supplies have the cables coming out the top of the plug so don't allow you to use these, depends if the cable comes out the bottom or top.... side by side is fine but one above the other won't work usually.

?

dope

Heat added (y)

Get this for £8.70 here https://cpc.farnell.com/pro-elec/pel00034/extension-lead-8g-ind-sw-wht-3m/dp/PL1531207 Note you need to spend £9.60 (incl VAT) or more to get free delivery but this lower price means you can buy something else for 90p and pay the same as the original post.

So I can plug 8 leads with Christmas lights in this without any issues..fire hazards, overload etc..I mean my Christmas lead have a power adaptor with is between 6-8 w

Yep you're right.... Note that powerline network adaptors don't always like working nicely when connected to a surge protected socket.

Overload isn't that what the fuse in the plug is for? Surge is more if theres a massive power surge from a bolt of lightning or a short, I think?

Its back in stock, just ordered 10 of them for £0.10, I just can't believe it. Hope they don't cancel the order...

out of stock now !

I have/ had the 4 gang version of this. We plugged mobiles, laptops etc into it, so nothing with a heavy load. It sparked every time we plugged something in. Frightening. Was binned. Dangerous.

Not likely you would overload with Christmas lights, most sets now use less than 5 watts especially led lights.

Amen to that

Same price without timer at home base if you don’t want a timer

Yeh ,One of life's great mystery that .Not sure I will sleep tonight not knowing

Why does anyone make these mechanical timers, they must be more expensive to make than one with a microcontroller in them these days?

I bought the Screwfix one which comes with an RCD too. £24.99 https://www.screwfix.com/p/masterplug-weatherproof-box-kit/46169

I bought a set of 200 outdoor lights from Wilco yesterday, only to get them home and find out they don't fit into the enclosure.

It's annoying that Belkin changed these so the two rows of sockets are no longer offset, plus they removed the two sockets that could rotate to fit larger power blocks.

The £4 Wilko Extension Lead with USB 1m 6 Gang White lead deal is still active if folks are feeling thrifty https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/wilko-extension-lead-with-usb-1m-6-gang-white-4-wilko-cc-3112992

£18 for an extention cable that diesn’t even have individual switches..not a good deal imo.

just a heads up, the plug distances are tight and face each other, really struggle to get anything but a normal plug in them, chargers and moulded plugs cover the other sockets. Fine if just using 8 kettle leads but I find more and more that every piece of equipment has a different sized moulded plug

Cheaper with switches available from CPC .

Collected 3 of these yesterday after ordering online, many thanks OP :)

Managed to order one the other day, should be in-store for collection any time soon - oddly cheaper than the 4 socket version and Homebase sell the same one for £18!

Its now only £0.01 ...but BUT BUT....OOS! HAHA

Tempted by this, but would be better if it were 2 metres instead of 1. Also, it states "Connects 4 items safely into one outlet". 4 items? Then why does it have 6 sockets? Is this the case, or have they copied / pasted the description from a 4 socket extension?

It is in the stock now

Nice price. Cheers @Frank30uk
