DEWENWILS 6-way extension lead 5m, surge protected 🔌

This six-socket extension lead offers a practical way to add power points around the home or office, with a 5-metre cable that reaches distant devices and a surge protector that helps reduce the risk from spikes. As a surge protected extension lead it adds peace of mind for connecting computers, chargers and entertainment equipment while keeping control simple with individual switches for each outlet.

Key Points

This unit provides six grounded sockets rated at 250 V and 13 A, allowing multiple appliances to run at the same time. Individual rocker switches and adjacent indicator lights make it easy to turn each socket on and off without unplugging devices, which can save a little energy and reduce wear on plugs. The design includes a childproof safety shutter on each outlet to reduce the chance of accidental insertion, and there is a visible indicator light for each socket so you can see which ones are live. For convenience the body is wall mountable with supplied screws and keyhole slots, helping to keep cables off floors and surfaces. 🔌

Usage Recommendations

Place the extension lead where it can be mounted securely so the cable is not a trip hazard. Use the individual switches to power down devices that are not in use rather than leaving them on standby, which can reduce unnecessary consumption. The surge protection helps with transient spikes, however the 270 Joules rating is modest according to the manufacturer, so avoid relying on this device as the sole protection for highly sensitive or very expensive equipment. 🛡️

Consider the total current draw when several appliances are connected at once. The combined load should not exceed the socket rating of 13 A or the overall wattage indicated in the technical data. With the spare 13 A fuse provided, minor maintenance can be carried out without replacing the whole unit, and the resettable circuit breaker will cut power if an overload or short circuit occurs.
