Product Information

As a general guide, appliances like kettles, irons, tumble dryers, hairdryers, washing machines, dishwashers, and vacuum cleaners all use well over 2000w when in use and so should be plugged directly into a power outlet. The amount of gadgetry and devices around our homes requiring power is mind-boggling and ever growing. Individually switchable extension leads enable electrical appliances to be switched on and off individually without interrupting the complete power supply of the other electrical appliances plugged in. Wireless extension leads

Our range of towers and adapters have all been engineered here in the England to make sure they meet the strict guidelines we have in the UK; thus, ensuring that they are safe to use and they actually do the job you need them to. This stands for Ingress Protection and as a rule of thumb if you’re looking for a waterproof extension lead it has to be at least IP54 rated so that it’s watertight. Anything higher than this will have even more protection. Do extension leads need surge protection? Surges are all overvoltages that exceed the limit value of the mains voltage for a short time. Without effective surge protection, the overvoltages destroy sensitive electronic components in the circuits of the connected devices. What does surge protection mean for extension leads?

This lead not only allows you to extend the reach of your home devices, but you can also power them on and off remotely. There are various reasons why a surge protection product is worthwhile. The financial damage and annoyance is great afterwards when expensive electrical appliances such as televisions, computers or kitchen machines are damaged by lightning strikes and surges. To avoid these surges, a surge protector can reduce voltage peaks to a level that is not dangerous for the end device. How much surge protection is needed? So, whether it’s individual strings of outdoor lights, festoon lighting, a hot tub or even a swimming pool pump and filter the housing will ensure that all the electrics are kept watertight. How long must the extension lead cable be? To ensure that the extension lead is long enough for every application, there are power strips with different cable lengths from 1.5m or 3m up to 5m.

The octagonal shape means that cable distribution is much easier so that everything will look much neater and you won’t have too much cable riot going on. The most dangerous causes are very high voltage peaks triggered by indirect lightning. Power surges also enter the power grid through indirect lightning in enormous current strengths or reach computer systems, video and hi-fi equipment via the telephone and antenna lines and destroy these devices without appropriate protection. If you want to protect your electrical devices from damage or destruction by high voltage peaks, it is better to connect them to an extension lead with surge protection. If you want to power outdoor electrical equipment this four-gang lead sits snugly in its own waterproof and weather-resistant box to ensure you’ll be able to totally weatherproof the unit so you can confidently turn on the power whenever it’s needed.

Best extension lead for outdoor electrical equipment: Netagon Outdoor Extension Lead

What additional functions does my extension lead need? Are switches needed? Do appearance and design play an important role? Is a higher IP protection class required for outdoor use? Is surge protection worthwhile? To protect your devices from electrical surges and spikes, the ST12B extension tower has an extra feature to keep you safe: a built-in surge protector. This protection feature works continuously while the tower is in use to ensure that all your devices are protected. Unlike some extension leads, we have engineered this model to let you know that the surge shield is active in the form of a green neon light; when this is lit up you know you are protected.

Charging devices even faster is possible with the technology for fast charging: Power Delivery. With Power Delivery, various battery-powered devices can be safely charged within a short time via a USB C connection, regardless of the manufacturer. With the Power Delivery technology for fast charging of batteries, connected end devices such as laptops, smartphones or tablets are charged up to 70% faster. Can I charge my USB device with Power Delivery? It could even stand on a desktop and not be too obtrusive and you would also be able to take advantage of the five USB ports for direct charging of devices. Further questions about surge protection extension leadsare also answered in the brennenstuhl® world of themes. The bright colour means that it’s always easy to locate and the carry handle makes for ease of use when working outdoors and the spindle is efficient so you don’t have to waste time sorting out lots of unruly cord tangles as you move around the garden.

You can only compare up to four products at a time.

The cord length is a modest 1.8m, but this doesn’t really matter as once the lead is in situ, the remote control does all the hard work and its emitting radio frequency will pass through plenty of obstacles and has a reach of between 15-30 metres. Excellent price and a one-year guarantee.
