Hi,

Saw at a lighting store (wasn't for sale) a continuous 4" power strip.
It was a narrow strip with long grooves that allowed one to plug in
anywhere along the strip. Can these things be found for sale
somewhere? What would they be called?


I used to have those in my workshop.

As others have said, they are probably no longer available due to lack of
polarization (like that makes a big freakin' difference on a soldering
iron). Plus there is no provision for the ground plug.

I, too, have visited the desirability of hiding unsightly outlets. A couple
of tricks I've used include:

* Mounting a power strip under the item's ledge and increasing the apparent
thickness of the ledge to hide it.
* Hiding an outlet with a flip-up cover that matched the environment.

Just for fun, you might try making your own - a length of Nylon bar, some
brass door insulation strips, a little time with a router...
