    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

    Varilight V Pro dimmers for LED lamps. Troublesome or not?

    Just been to Eddys to get three of these and they said they don't stock them any more due to constantly failing and they got sick of the amount of returns.
