I have a 5 plug extension goin to a 4 then a 4 then a 5 around the room.

I also have 2 multi blocks in the 2 5s. Behind the tv is worst.

My fish tank has 2 4 plug extensions too. I must have nearly 25 a actually.



The room only has 1 wall socket.


No pics as I'm in London.

Mine has 2, but I have 21 into one socket.

I would say max draw would be 20A.

Cos a double socket face plate is rated for 20A.

And the wiring in a ring although fused at 30/32A is rated for 20A ish max long term draw.

So using 230v as nominal voltage you can draw 4600w

Tbh wouldn't recommend this especially if using multiple adapters and extensions.
