Extension leads/power strips: connect smartly (plus, a link to more safety advice)
Extension leads (or power strips) can be handy, but you should always avoid overloading sockets or linking power strips together.
Signs of an overloaded socket include sparks, scorch marks, or a smell of hot plastic.
Remember: distribute your electrical load evenly across sockets to prevent overheating and minimise the risk of fire.
