Description
This black extension lead gives your lighting extra reach, so a display can start where it looks best rather than where the power happens to be. It runs for 5m, a useful length for crossing a room, following the edge of a window or bridging the gap between a doorway and a tree in the front garden. At one end sits a two-pin plug and at the other a matching two-pin socket. Each has a ribbed, threaded collar, so the two halves can be screwed firmly together. The cable is a smooth, plain black that keeps a low profile against skirting boards, fences and dark branches.
Because it is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, it works just as well running behind a sofa to a mantelpiece display as it does along a porch rail, around a doorway or across a flower bed to a lit garden tree. Black disappears into the evening, so once your lights are on, the eye goes to them rather than to the lead. It is a practical answer for a front window that sits a little too far from the power, or for a garden scene you would rather set back from the house.
The lead coils up neatly, so it can go back in the box with your lights in January and come out again the following winter. Before connecting, check that the connector on your lights matches this two-pin plug and socket, and run the cable where nobody will trip over it. If it picks up mud from the garden, wipe it with a damp cloth and let it dry before you coil it away. It makes a handy addition to any Christmas lighting kit, especially where the best spot for the display is not the one closest to the power.

Frequently Asked
How long is the extension lead?
It adds 5m of cable. That is enough to cross a room, follow a window frame or reach a tree a little way into the garden.
Can I use this extension lead outside?
Yes, it is for indoor and outdoor use. It can run along a porch, around a doorway or across the garden to your display.
What connectors does it have?
It has a two-pin plug at one end and a matching two-pin socket at the other. Each has a threaded collar, so the two halves screw firmly together.
How do I know it suits my lights?
Look at the connector on your light set before you buy. If it uses the same two-pin plug and socket with a screw collar, it will join in line.
Will the lead stand out in my display?
The cable is plain black, so it sits quietly against fences, skirting boards and dark branches once your lights are on after dark.
How should I clean and store it?
Wipe off any garden mud with a damp cloth and let it dry. Then coil it loosely and pack it away with your lights until next winter.
