For those who don't have a Spotlight nearby.
Thanks to TA for the Spotlight Deal on the same Powerboard.
Credit to TA for his original deal! I'm only posting this for people who have missed it for not having a spotlight nearby.

  I must have been living under a rock, but I've never seen power boards like this!
  Thanks for posting… clever idea and probably been around for years, but new to me :).

    They're a complete nightmare trying to plug something into under a desk for general use!!
    Ingenious idea however

    I've had these for about three years.
    Only thing is that the protector falls off occasionally and its PITA to get back on.

  Haven't seen it mentioned yet, but not only are the sockets child-safe, they also prevent dust from ingressing through unused sockets, which over time can be a fire risk.

    Excellent. I have a powerpoint inside my roof powering my POE switch connected to my IP Cameras. Will throw this up there.

  For what it's worth, I've found these a total pain in the arse to use and wouldn't buy another.

    You can remove the protective caps to make it a normal power board.

  These are great if it's very easily accessible because you do need to ram the plugs in a bit.
  Couldn't imagine this being fun behind a TV or under the deal though..

  At a glance I'd say that the length of the cord is about 90cm's, please don't sue me, I'm only eyeballing it
