Mscien Extension Lead 1.8M with 4-way sockets 🪫

This 4-way extension lead from Mscien brings four individually switched sockets and surge protection to a compact, wall-mountable power strip for home or small office use. It extends a single wall outlet with a 1.8 m cable and helps manage several appliances while offering overload and surge protection, according to the manufacturer.

Key Points

The unit includes separate on/off switches with indicator lights for each socket, which makes it easy to control power to individual devices without unplugging them. Two mounting slots on the rear allow the strip to be fixed to a wall or under a desk for neater cable management. The integrated surge and overload protection aims to reduce the risk of damage from spikes and excessive current, and the casing is described as flame-retardant PVC and PC.

Technical Specifications

• Name: Mscien Extension Lead with Switches
• Cable length: 1.8 m
• Number of sockets: 4-way
• Rated power: 2500 W
• Safety certifications: CE (according to the manufacturer)

Advantages

Having four separate switches makes it straightforward to leave some appliances connected while cutting power to others, which can be useful for desk setups, entertainment centres or small kitchens. The surge protection adds a layer of defence for electronics such as routers, laptops and monitors, while the overload protection helps prevent accidental tripping when using higher-power items. The visible indicator lights are practical for quickly checking which sockets are live.

Usage Recommendations

Place the strip where the 1.8 m cable reaches comfortably from the mains outlet and secure it using the rear mounting slots if you prefer a tidier installation. Keep the combined load below the 2500 W rating to avoid overload, especially when using high-draw appliances like hairdryers or kettles. Consider using this power strip for low to medium power devices and for situations where individual socket control is helpful.

(Note: the surge and overload protections are described by the manufacturer, and for heavy-duty or sensitive equipment you may wish to consult product documentation or choose a dedicated surge protector with higher specifications.)
