Find the right extension lead

Choosing an extension lead? Start by checking how far your device is from the power point. Our range includes different cord lengths, so you can find an option that suits your setup without having unnecessary cable in the way.

Consider the plug design, power rating and where you'll be using it. Standard extension leads are handy for everyday household devices, while selected piggyback designs allow continued access to the original power point. Always check individual product specifications before choosing.

Power for everyday spaces

Whether you're setting up a desk, connecting a lamp or arranging your entertainment area, extension leads can help you reach power points that aren't close to your devices. Choose a length that suits your space and position cords carefully to avoid creating trip hazards.

Use extension leads safely

Before using an extension lead, check that it's suitable for your device and doesn't exceed its rated electrical load. Keep cords away from water, heat and areas where they could be damaged. Always fully unwind extension leads before use and avoid connecting multiple extension leads together.

Check the product instructions for indoor or outdoor suitability, and never use a damaged lead. If you're unsure whether an extension lead is suitable for your needs, seek advice from a qualified electrician.

Extension leads FAQs

How do I choose the right extension lead?

Consider the distance between your device and the power point, along with the lead's length, plug design and electrical rating. Check the product specifications to make sure it's suitable for your intended use.

Can extension leads be used outdoors?

Some extension leads are designed for outdoor use, but not all are suitable. Always check the product's outdoor suitability and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Keep electrical connections protected from moisture and use appropriate electrical safety protection.

Can I connect multiple extension leads together?

Connecting extension leads together can increase the risk of overheating and electrical hazards. Choose a single extension lead with a suitable length and power rating instead.

How should I store extension leads?

Unplug your extension lead when it's not in use and check for any signs of damage. Store it loosely coiled in a cool, dry place, avoiding tight bends that could damage the cable.
