UK Power Strip 6-way extension with 3 USB, USB-C and 2500W/10A switch (white)
Product description
If you’re fed up with wall sockets being occupied the moment you plug in a laptop, speakers and a charger, this UK Power Strip setup aims to fix that in one go. It combines multiple UK-style AC outlets with built-in USB and USB-C ports, so you can power up both accessories and devices without constantly swapping chargers.
The design is straightforward: a heavy-duty extension cord, a switch you can actually see (illuminated), and ports placed on the strip rather than forcing everything into the same wall adapter block. It’s the sort of thing that makes sense around a home office desk, a shared worktop, or anywhere you want less cable chaos—though it’s not magic if your power needs go beyond what the rating allows.
The essentials
This power strip offers 6 AC plug outlets rated at 2500W/10A, plus charging options for everyday mobile devices: 3 USB ports and 1 Type-C (USB-C) port. On the cable side, you get a heavy-duty extension cord of 180-centimetre length, helping you place the strip where it’s useful rather than where the nearest socket happens to be.
What stands out in everyday use
The practical win here is the mix of outlets and charging ports. With USB-A and USB-C available, you can usually leave phone and tablet chargers at the desk while using the AC outlets for the bigger stuff—like a monitor, desk lamp, or a compact appliance. And because there’s an illuminated power switch, it’s easier to tell at a glance whether the strip is switched on.
Picture a typical setup: you arrive home, plug your laptop into an AC outlet, power a small printer or router using another outlet, and then charge your phone via USB-C. The strip’s purpose is clearly to reduce adapter clutter—one device, one place, multiple connections.

Where it shines (and where it may not)
Worth considering if your goal is “one strip, many devices” for home, office, or a general-purpose workspace. The 6 AC outlets make it easier to accommodate multiple plugs without crowding the wall socket, and the dedicated USB and Type-C ports help when your devices charge via different standards.
Keep in mind, though, that the strip’s usefulness is still bounded by the stated 2500W/10A rating. If you’re planning to run higher-demand appliances through it (especially several at once), you’ll want to be careful. Also, the cable length is 180-centimetre, so if you need a longer reach for a specific layout, this may feel a bit tight depending on where the wall socket is.
Should you buy it?
It makes sense if you want a UK power strip that covers both standard AC plug needs and phone/tablet charging in one place, with an illuminated switch and a reasonably flexible cord length. This is the kind of choice that fits well for desks, home offices, and everyday multi-device charging.
You may want to skip it if your setup demands more cable length, or if you expect to run multiple high-power appliances at once. It’s not the right move if you’re looking for a power solution that can safely ignore power ratings—on paper it’s designed for typical home/office device mixes.

How many AC outlets does it have?
It provides 6 AC plug outlets, which should help when you’ve got several devices to power but don’t want them all competing for a single wall socket.
Does it have a switch?
Yes, it includes a switch and the power switch is illuminated, so you can spot its status more easily.
How long is the extension lead?
