Hyundai Ioniq Electric: Australia’s cheapest electric car reviewed | Portable Electrical Socket

This adapter is still pretty compact, though. “It weighs just 1.2 pounds, so I can stuff it in a carry-on, no fuss,” says Ashlea Halpern, editor-at-large for AFAR Media and co-founder of Cartogramme. “And it never overheats or short-circuits! The last thing I want to do is blow out my laptop in middle-of-nowhere, Vietnam. Best of all, the plug adapters and E.U. plug cable fit outlets all over the world: North America, the U.K. and Continental Europe, India, China, Australia, the Middle East. I reckon this adapter is the only thing I carry on my person that’s as well-traveled as my passport.”

Holiday decorating can include tangles of extension cords, but those extra wires could be a danger to young children. (MU Health Care)

Having old, damaged Christmas lights wrapped around a dry tree that isn’t watered is the worst thing you could do when it comes to your tree (aside from also dousing it with L’Oreal Elnett).

The choice then becomes whether an 11kW or 22kW charging speed is offered by the manufacturer (or if the charging remains at the maximum single phase rate of 7kW).

Between the potential for slippery wipeouts and electric shocks, it’s worth waiting for a dry day to hang your lights. “Obviously you should not be playing with electricity in the rain,’’ Tougas-Schavone said.

This gives rack designers several degrees of freedom. They can manage inlet temperature, fan power consumption and outlet temperature separately, and dynamically, if they wish. Binger mentioned that providing chilled intake air can double the thermal dissipation load from 1 kW to 2 kW.

Check that all of your lights and extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and don’t use cut or frayed cords or lights with cracked bulbs. The safety commission recommends plugging into a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet, like those found in your bathroom, which will shut off the power if a ground fault is detected from water or a damaged cord. You can purchase extension cords or adapters that add GFCI protection to any three-prong outlet.

Use a sturdy ladder on firm footing, Chabot said. “You don’t want to be on the tippy top of that thing; you want to be a couple rungs down to be safe. Extension ladders should extend above the roofline by 3 feet at a minimum.’’

Avoid using tacks, nails, screws, or staples to affix your lights — anything that might pierce the cords, Chabot said. “It’s good not to have your plug connections on the ground, where they might end up under snow or in puddles and get wet,’’ he added. Any open female ends should face downward so they don’t collect water in the socket — or, better yet, wrap the connections with rubber electrical tape. Or use plastic outlet protectors, Tougas-Schavone said.

Enough about what it does the same, you came for its multi-purpose capability. With an integrated LED flashlight, safety protection for over-temperatures and short-circuits, and the ability to be recharged via solar panels, the EasyFocus Portable Power Station is the epitome of versatile.

Apple is continuing its efforts to market the iPad as a PC replacement and is available in four Retina display screen sizes: 7.9, 9.7, 10.5, and 12.9-inch.

With almost half of Bristol failing to regularly water their real Christmas tree, which can dry out and become a tinder box ready and waiting to start a fire at home.
