A lead that is too short invites trailing extensions and loose joints, and one used outside its rating is a genuine hazard. Matching a correctly fused 5 amp lead to equipment that sits comfortably inside that limit keeps the installation tidy, keeps it safe, and turns a dead lead into a two-minute swap rather than a lost night.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the appliance load sits within the 5 amp, roughly 1150W limit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush the IEC connector fully home into the equipment inlet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug the other end into a mains socket, timer or contactor outlet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep the cable clear of standing water and hot lamp surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever connect an HID lamp straight to the mains — always run it through a suitable ballast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hcs-specs\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMains power cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 metres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlug\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUK 3-pin, 5 amp fused\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConnector\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFemale IEC (C13)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaximum Load\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 1150W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTypical Use\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBallasts, inline fans, reflectors and other IEC equipment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Misc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53446965625098,"sku":null,"price":3.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/7127\/5786\/files\/MainsCable2m-Moulded5AmpPlugtoFemaleIECPlug.webp?v=1785315593","url":"https:\/\/hydrocropshop.co.uk\/products\/2m-mains-cable-with-5-amp-plug-to-female-iec","provider":"Hydro Crop Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
