{"product_id":"additions-3a-plug-adaptor-49mm-long-clear","title":"Additions 3A Plug Adaptor 49mm Long - Clear","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eEuropean plugs will not go into a British socket, and this is the small piece that solves it. It takes a two pin continental plug at one end and presents the British three pin pattern at the other, so an imported lamp can be brought into use here without cutting into its lead. The housing is clear from end to end, which keeps it discreet where a plug sits in full view, and it is rated at 3A, so it belongs with table lamps, chargers and other light loads rather than anything that heats or drives a motor. It needs an earth connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe keep it for the situation that comes up again and again: a lamp bought abroad, a fitting shipped in from a European maker, or a piece from a holiday flat that has arrived home with the wrong plug on it. Renters find it useful because nothing about the appliance changes, and we reach for it ourselves when a sample arrives at the shop and we want it lit on the bench the same afternoon. Keep it to dry rooms indoors, on a normal household supply, and give it a socket it can sit in squarely rather than one crowded by a bulky adaptor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe clear finish shows the pins and the internals, so you can see at a glance that everything is seated properly. At 23mm across it takes up little room on a double socket, leaving the second position usable. To clean it, pull it from the socket first, then wipe the outside with a dry cloth and leave the pins alone; no sprays or damp cloths near the contacts. It carries a three year warranty. Alongside it we stock a clear plugtop in the same family, cable grips in clear and black, and IEC leads, so a European fitting can be brought fully into line with British practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.30KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e49mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials Used\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlastic Polycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot Applicable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtection Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass 1 - Earth Connection Required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Voltage (V)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220-240V~50\/60Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3yrs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUKCA\/CE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePieces Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat load can I use it with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is rated at 3A, which covers table and floor lamps, small chargers and similar low draw items.
