I really wanted to rationalise the various extension strips I have
under the desk and arrange to put the sockets somewhere more
accessible. The only options I can think of at the moment are either
two 6 gang switched extension leads fastened to one end of the desk or
four MK 3 gang switched socket outlets recessed into the end panel of
the desk. At least these would cover current needs and allow for a
couple of spare outlets.
How many, if any, are used to power something that could alternatively
be powered from a USB port on the computer? Could these be replaced by a
single powered USB hub and appropriate USB cables?
iPads, iPhones, Android phones and my bluetooth speaker system all
spring to mind for this treatment.
That is a good idea. I will check the power requirements of the
various items. I have a feeling that the majority are probably 12v and
from memory USB power is restricted to 5v - but there will hopefully
be a couple of things that could utilise USB.
