    Lamps flickering when plugged into extension lead

    Hello I have two desk top lamps plugged into an extension lead. If I add a small laptop, the lamps flicker. I tried a different extension lead - same result. Does this indicate a fault with the electrics? :confused5: Or could it be a fault with the laptop plug/adapter? Cheers

    Yellow 240v extension reel??

    Hi all, Today I was given a yellow 240v extension reel to use. Now if I'm not mistaken yellow flex indicates 110v. So how does this comply? If I was to use this on a construction site everybody would assume it is 110v whereas in reality it's not it's 240v! Thoughts please :)
