Not sure this is safe?
I bought this for Xmas lights. I was a bit concerned that the unit got quite warm when on for a few hours. and the on off switches were close together and difficult for older fingers.

I got this a while ago and it give me a peace of mind that items plugged in are not live.

Really worth the money.
My hall, which is long and L shaped has only one electrical outlet which isn’t ideal. I bought this plug and it’s been brilliant. I like that it offers me more flexibility and it’s easy to know whether it’s switched on or not thanks to the light that comes on when you use it. Well worth the money, and I have just bought a second one for use in another room.

It was a plug.
It was a plug. It worked.

Hi N McL, thank you for your enquiry.
As sockets are situated on either side of the adaptor you may lose use of one of these because of close interaction with the plug in the other wall plate socket (unless they are spaced far enough apart to prevent this, which would be a little unusual for UK double socket plates).
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.

Hi Bb, thank you for your enquiry.
As long as you don't overload the adaptor with the total combined power consumption.
The adaptor has a maximum peak power capacity of 13A (3,120W / 3.12kW).
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Tel, thank you for your enquiry.
The adaptor has a fuse (as it is more than 2 socket) which will provide overload protection, but it is _not_ surge protected.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi TA, thank you for your enquiry.

Hello Sr1906,
The supplier has advised the following for the Masterplug 3-Way Individually Switched Adaptor:
“ The total amount is 3120 watts as per the fuse that is fitted, this is shared between the 3 sockets and should not be exceeded. ”
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Mrsjpc,
The supplier has advised the following for the Masterplug 3-Way Individually Switched Adaptor:
We’d have to advise no for a couple of reasons. (This is also not tested to be used in this way either). A 2-pin adapter will have a 2990w capacity and the 3 way unit could be setup with 3 x 3200w devices that would overload/blow the fuse.
Also the unit is bulky so, if connected to an adapter at one end and a 13A plug device at the other end, it may be too heavy for the wall socket and lever out.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hi JB, thank you for your enquiry.
In answer to your question - as long as you don't overload the adaptor's maximum power capacity, 13A (3,120W / 3.12kW), then there should not be a problem.
However, this does mean you will need to determine the power consumption of each item and add them together - but it is sounding fairly likely that this will be ok.
Hope this helps.
Hi There

This would depend of the power needed for the items you are plugging in. If overloaded this would cause a fire hazard.
Thanks for using Q&A.
