Power extension lead Solight PS23, mobile connector coupling, 25 m cable, 2 x 1.5 mm², orange

Solight PS23 is a mobile power extension lead with a coupling connector and a 25 m orange cable fitted with two 1.5 mm² conductors. It is designed to provide temporary mains power distribution for tools, outdoor equipment and site use where a flexible feed and easy coupling are required. The bright orange sheath improves visibility on work sites and in outdoor environments, while the coupling connector allows linking with other compatible cables to extend reach.

Advantages

The Solight PS23 offers a long 25 m reach and two 1.5 mm² conductors suitable for many low- to medium-load applications. The integrated coupling connector enables fast and secure joining of extension leads without modifying existing installation points. The orange cable sheath increases visibility, helping reduce trip hazards and making the cable easier to trace on busy sites or in dim light.

Suitable for

• Temporary power supply for hand tools on construction and renovation sites
• Outdoor events and temporary installations requiring a visible feed
• Garden equipment and patio heaters where extension of mains is needed
• Workshops and garages for portable power distribution

When it may not be suitable

This extension lead is intended for temporary and portable use and is not designed as a permanent fixed wiring solution. It features two conductors with cross-section of 1.5 mm² which is appropriate for many tools and equipment, but may not be adequate for heavier power loads or continuous operation of high-power appliances.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 25 m
• Number of conductors: 2
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm²
• Cable colour: orange for high visibility
• Connector type: mobile coupling connector for linking extension leads

How to use

Uncoil the 25 m cable fully before energising to prevent heat build-up. Connect the coupling connector to a compatible mating connector or another extension lead until it locks or sits firmly. Ensure connectors and cable are dry and undamaged before use. Route the cable to avoid sharp edges, moving parts and high-traffic walkways; use cable protectors or elevated routing where necessary. After use, disconnect power, decouple connectors and neatly coil the cable for storage in a dry place.

What to consider before purchase

• Required current capacity for your tools and equipment to confirm 1.5 mm² conductors are sufficient
• Whether a two-conductor extension is appropriate for your application (e.g., if an earth conductor is required)
• Length needed to avoid excessive joins or voltage drop over the run
• Environmental conditions: ensure connectors and cable are suitable for outdoor or wet locations if applicable

Usage recommendations

Use the Solight PS23 for temporary, visible power distribution on work sites and outdoor events. Avoid using it for continuous heavy-duty loads or as a substitute for fixed wiring. Regularly inspect the cable and connectors for wear, cuts or damage and replace the lead if any protective layers or conductors are compromised.
