{"product_id":"polycarbonate-converter-36mm-black","title":"Additions Converter 36mm - Black","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eBought a lamp on holiday and found the plug will not fit a British socket? This small black converter solves it. A European plug pushes into one end and the other end is moulded as a standard UK plugtop, so the lamp can be used exactly as it arrived. It is rated at 3A, which suits table lamps, floor lamps and decorative fittings rather than kettles, heaters or anything else with a heavy draw. The earth path is carried through the body, and it is compact enough to leave room for whatever shares the socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe sell a lot of these to people furnishing with pieces brought back from Europe: an Italian pendant, a Scandinavian table lamp, a flea market find that came home in a suitcase. It is also the quiet answer in a rented flat, where changing the plug on a lamp you did not buy is more bother than it is worth. We keep one in the workshop drawer for exactly that reason. Wherever it goes, it wants a dry room indoors: hallway, bedroom, sitting room, study, and nothing outdoors or anywhere steam collects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe finish is black across the housing, which keeps it discreet behind a dark shade or alongside a black flex. To clean it, pull it from the socket, then wipe the housing with a dry cloth and leave the pins alone; no sprays, no damp corners of a kitchen cloth. It carries a three year warranty. We stock it beside the other small parts we use for lamp repair and lamp making, including a clear plugtop and cable grips in black and clear. There is no bulb or lamp involved here: this is simply the piece that gets a foreign plug into a British socket.\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\u003eBlack\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\u003e36mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44mm\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\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\u003eHow big is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt measures 49mm long, 36mm wide and 44mm high, so it takes up very little space in front of the socket and stays clear of anything plugged in beside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat can I safely run through it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is rated at 3A, which comfortably covers table lamps, floor lamps and other decorative lighting.
