Car Cigar Lighter Extension
 

Evening,

Anybody know where I can buy a car cigar lighter extension cable with an easily replaceable fuse and a off / on switch?

So far I've tried: Halfords, Maplins, FleaBay - just can't find any with an off / on switch...

Anybody come across one of these before?

I picked one up at Aldi about a month ago. Might be worth checking them out. Its a three plug extension, with an On/Off switch. Cost about a fiver I think :)

Tried Maplins - they have one - but out of stock in the Basingstoke store - and didn't have power switch - which I may remove from the requirements list..

I got my 4 socket extension with push button on/off switch from Halfrauds.
Try and find a bigger store perhaps or look on ebay?

Just tried RS and Farnell - they want about £10 for it - behave!!!

Yes I saw them - I only really want one plug to socket...

None on fleaBay with power switches.

I got one on ebay then put a switch in myself

Re: Car Cigar Lighter Extension
 

Where did you buy the switch from??

Re: Car Cigar Lighter Extension
 

Maplin probably, is the power switch a requirement, can;t you just unplug it?

Re: Car Cigar Lighter Extension
 

Yes I could do - but I just wanted the convenience of having a switch...

Re: Car Cigar Lighter Extension
 

Was B+Q and it was designed for a table lamp cord - you need to make sure the switch will handle the AMPS that you put through the cable to the device as some devices can draw quite a bit over 12v.

Remember AMPS kill not Voltage (unless 25,000 etc).:erm:

Was it painful?

Not as painful as that joke ;)

No switch though... and I have no idea of the quality
Had Torches from ledshoope before and those were great

Had a card reader from them, doesn't feel that well made but then again it was only ~£4 delivered.

Didn't see any switched ones in aldi when I went in the blackwater one last week (but then I wasn't really looking for one, that would have been your nearest ALDI.)

Don't really like messing with electrics 0 epically car electrics!

Yes I know it's only splicing in a switch but still....
