Universal Power Strip for Asia

Post by pavi » Mon Aug 27, 2018 6:18 pm

Where can i buy a universal power strip designed for Asia? I looked up in Amazon and Ebay and they have over 20 USD of shipping charges, which makes it too expensive to buy. Are there any cheaper options available?

aliexpress? although i'm not sure what a power strip designed "for asia" really means? Malaysia/HK have UK sockets. Mainland China has australian style ones. Taiwan/Philippines has american style. There is no single "asian socket".

Sorry Riku, I meant a power strip adapter with 3 pin socket which are round(unlike UK ones which are rectangular). I checked the power.fi page but did not include 3 pin socket with rounded ones.

So you mean indian ones which are the same as the british ones until the early 60's. The socket probably does not pass EU safety approvals so I doubt any shop in Finland would be able to sell them.

Products from aliexpress have no problem with safety rules of any kind (bear this in mind when claiming on the insurance after your house burns down) so something like this might be suitable - the holes will accept many kinds of plugs including the two types of indian ones
