Tower Extension Lead 8‑way 5 USB 3250W surge protector 🔌

This compact power tower combines practical charging with flexible power distribution for home or office use. The Tower Extension Lead offers eight AC sockets and five USB ports with smart charging, plus a built-in night light with three brightness settings to help you find plugs in low light while keeping devices topped up.

Key Points

The tower integrates 8-way mains outlets and 5 USB charging ports that share a maximum 5A output, with each USB port rated up to 2.4A according to the manufacturer. It includes four independent switches to control groups of sockets, which reduces the need to unplug devices and helps manage standby power. The 1.8 m cable is fitted with thicker copper conductors to support higher loads up to 13A and a total rated power of 3250W.

Advantages

Having separate switches for sections of the tower makes it simple to isolate devices without disturbing others. The built-in night light with selectable brightness levels provides gentle illumination for bedrooms or home offices and reduces fumbling in the dark. The compact vertical design saves floor and desk space while still bringing multiple sockets within easy reach.

Usage Recommendations

Place the tower on a level surface near the devices you use most often, ensuring the cable is not trapped or tightly bent. For high-draw appliances check cumulative power consumption to avoid exceeding the 13A rating. Consider using the grouped switches to turn off entertainment systems or computer peripherals when not in use to reduce standby consumption.

Technical Safety and Limitations

The tower includes a surge protector and a circuit breaker that the manufacturer states will trip under overwhelming surges to protect connected equipment. The housing is made from fire-resistant PC material rated to resist high temperatures, and the main components are reported to hold CE, FCC and UL-related certifications. Note that USB output is shared between ports so simultaneous fast charging of many devices may reduce individual current.
