(I now have 14 mains appliances and at least double that number of 3v-25v DC devices.) It's an absurdity of the marketplace that a low-power multi-tap device is still not available. I have 10 power block extensions of at least four sockets each in just the kitchen and lounge. I would much prefer four multi-tap devices that could feed printer, USB hub, phone, camera, audio and lighting directly.
