Table lamp and DECT phone power plug permanently plugged in under one table, and table lamp and LAN adapter under the other. Only the USB socket would have occasional use for charging a tablet or e-reader.
Already do that, but the flex has to trail across the floor from the wall socket. Covered by gaffer-type tape that is near floorboard colour to prevent trip hazard. I want a neater solution.
They won't get trodden on under the tables.
to the socket. It would soon become an unreliable fire hazard.
Maybe you'll plug things in few enough times and have nonconductive enough dirt and large enough clearances etc, who knows. I've emptied sockets of re markable quantities of dirt. 4 way strips have way more space for dirt tha n wall sockets.
so you don't do that, you plug it into the wall instead
et trodden on.
one day they will.
Only on a new build...
No, once they're plugged in they stay plugged in. Lamp and phone.
That's the point. The present 4-way strip IS plugged into the wall, and sits under the table. Flex runs across the floor.
Even with my Size 13s it's very difficult to even deliberately reach any distance under the table.
Just put it in your will that the floor should be used to make your coffin and take it with you when you die.
And of course the floorboards are waterproof and will not get damaged:-)
So IMHO a few floor sockets would be the least of your problems should you have a flood.
The local Scout Hut sockets are now above the last flood level. The floor will still be ruined if it floods again.
into the socket. It would soon become an unreliable fire hazard.
ugh dirt and large enough clearances etc, who knows. I've emptied sockets o f remarkable quantities of dirt. 4 way strips have way more space for dirt than wall sockets.
get trodden on.
whoosh. enjoy your electrics.
At 1m high?
Find one that is accessible even if you are able bodied:-)
Won't matter. It's only when the cut ends get wet that interesting things happen.
I hope you'd turn off the power before you get in the boat to leave :)
Seriously though - it might save a fire to add to the flood.
