Description:
This wood-grain extension lead brings together practical surge protection and integrated USB charging for a neater power solution in the living room, kitchen or home office. It suits users who want a discreet accessory that matches wooden furniture while offering safety features and space for multiple plugs, and it includes fast USB charging for phones and accessories.
Key Points
The unit has a decorative wooden effect finish that blends with natural interiors and modern décor, helping to reduce visual clutter on desks or coffee tables. It includes three widely spaced AC sockets arranged to accept bulky adapters without blocking neighbouring plugs, which is handy when you need several wall-wart style chargers at once. The lead also features a built-in on/off switch with an integrated circuit breaker for an added layer of overload protection, and it will cut power automatically if a surge exceeds its rated capacity. ⚡
A practical convenience is the pair of USB ports, one USB-C and one USB-A, that support device charging directly from the extension lead so fewer separate chargers are needed. The USB outputs use smart IC detection to adapt the current to the connected device, allowing phones, earphones and smartwatches to charge efficiently. 🔌
Consider that the surge protection has an absorption capacity stated by the manufacturer at around 1800 Joule, which offers a degree of protection but may not match the specifications of dedicated industrial surge devices. Also make sure the total load connected does not exceed the 13 ampere and 3250 watt limits.

Usage Recommendations
Position the extension on a desk or mount it to a wall or underside of furniture using the two rear mounting slots to free up surface space. The 2 metre cable gives good reach to the nearest outlet so you can place it where it is most convenient. For charging, plug in devices with heavier power needs into the AC sockets and use the USB ports for small electronics, as the USB combination shares the overall current allowance. 🔋
When using multiple high-draw appliances, monitor the combined power consumption to stay within the 13 ampere limit, and avoid using it with high-power appliances that continuously draw near the maximum wattage. The wooden finish requires normal care to avoid scratches and contact with liquids while in everyday use.
