Extension Lead 5m with USB Ports and Night Light, 8-way Tower Surge Protected (13A 3250W) – 5 USB Ports + 4 Independent Switches
Product description
The essentials
If you’re fed up with crowded sockets and constant plug/unplug sessions, a tower-style extension lead can make desk and home-office setups feel a lot more organised. This Extension Lead 5m with USB slots and a night light is built around the idea of powering more devices in one place: it combines an 8-way AC extension tower, five USB charging ports, and four independent switches so you can control different parts without rummaging behind furniture.
On paper, the main draw is convenience with built-in control. You get a 5m lead for flexible placement, an integrated surge protection approach, plus a night-light mode with three brightness levels. That combination is particularly handy in rooms where you want usable power but don’t necessarily want everything lit up all night.
What it’s designed to do (and how it feels in use)
The practical use case is simple: power a cluster of electronics from one point, then switch parts off when they’re not in use. The “4-separated switches” are there to let you manage connected devices more easily. Instead of turning everything on and off together, you can group what you’re using—for example, keep your essentials running while powering down the rest when you’re away from the desk.
A small but real day-to-day benefit is the night light. With three brightness levels, it’s not just a novelty, it can help you locate the unit in dim conditions (think late-evening kitchen use or a bedside-adjacent charging setup). It won’t replace room lighting, but it can reduce fumbling around.
If you’re charging a mix of devices—phones, tablets, or accessories that normally need a USB charger—having USB ports on the tower is exactly the kind of “reduce the adapter clutter” feature that tends to get used every day.
Key features that matter
This model is built as a surge-protected extension tower with a circuit breaker, plus a casing described as fire-resistant (the listing mentions 1382 ℉). It also states protection for voltage fluctuations, surges, and spikes, and positions itself as suitable for protecting devices such as a TV and a computer.
For switching control, it includes 4 independent switches, while the AC section is an 8-way tower with USB charging alongside. The USB charging is described as using GaN technology and provides up to 2.4A per port, with 5A shared for the USB ports.
There’s also mention of compliance/safety certifications (the listing references FCC and CE). That doesn’t automatically tell you how it will perform long-term in every home, but it’s a sensible baseline to see stated for a mains power product.
What stands out (and where it may not suit)
What really stands out is the “all-in-one” layout: 8 AC outlets plus 5 USB ports, combined with independent switching and a night-light mode. If your home office or living space has a single power point that needs to serve multiple devices, this kind of tower extension tends to feel more organised than a flat extension lead.
However, it may not be the best match if you want a compact, low-profile extension lead. A tower format takes up more space and is best when you can place it somewhere sensible (like on a desk or shelf) without it being in the way.
Also, while the listing gives charging figures and surge protection claims, the “right choice” depends on your device mix. For instance, if you mostly need one or two outlets with minimal fuss, this can be more features than you’ll actually use.
Worth considering too: if your priorities are purely maximum outlet density in the smallest footprint, a different extension approach may be easier to fit.

Buying verdict
It makes sense if you need a 5m, surge-protected extension tower that can handle both AC devices and USB charging from one spot, and you like the idea of independent switching plus a night light.
It’s not the best choice if you’re after a minimal, space-saving extension lead, or if your setup doesn’t benefit from having USB ports and grouped switching.
You’ll likely appreciate it most in a home office, desk area, or similar multi-device setup where you want fewer adapters and easier control over what stays powered.
If you’re reviewing this before buying, do double-check that a 13A / 3250W rated lead suits the type of load you plan to run from it, and consider where the tower will sit safely in your room so it’s accessible (especially if you plan to use the night-light mode).
Mini FAQ
Is it surge protected?
Yes—this listing describes built-in surge protection with a circuit breaker, and claims protection against voltage fluctuations, surges, and spikes.
How many USB charging ports does it have?
There are 5 USB ports, described as GaN technology, with up to 2.4A per port and 5A shared.
Does it have separate control for devices?
It includes 4 independent switches that control separate parts, so you can switch multiple connected items off at once without unplugging.
What’s the night light for?
The tower has a white light mode with three brightness levels, intended to help you see where it is and choose a suitable brightness level.
What should I check before buying?
You’ll want to confirm the power needs of your devices, consider whether a tower format will fit where you plan to place it, and check whether the USB + switching features match how you actually use your desk or room power point.
