Electrical Safety
Introducing the Safety - Electrical Safety section on our blog where we post some of the electrical safety advice available today.
We sell and distribute a lot of electrical items, switches and sockets, and lights on our website, and they all connect to electricity.
It is imperative that you use a registered electrician when it comes to installing or wiring things.
And if it comes to doing things yourself, make sure you are safe. Electricity can kill. It is not a joke.
Whether you're installing or using a heater, changing the sockets to USB sockets or dimmers to LED dimmers, or simply using an extension socket, make sure you are safe.
