Hello
I have recently moved into a new property and like a lot of people I have had to set up a a office at home.
My property is from the early 1980s and is a little sparse on plug sockets. In the office there are two single sockets on each wall. Currently I do not have the funds to to get someone in in to hollow out the brick to expand to a double socket.
Out of each socket I have a a good quality surge protected 4-way extension. One of the extensions have all the computer equipment (two monitors, a computer, speaker). The other has lights and phone charger.
In the corner of the room there is the bulkhead over the stairs and I have placed a bookcase on the bulkhead. I want to have a light on the bulkhead. However it is quite away from the socket. I obviously cannot run one of my my 4 way extension up to the light have the cables for the office equipment are not long enough. The only solution would be to run a extension from my extension (daisy chain) to plug in one or two low amp lights.
I know that generally daisy chaining is a bad idea.... However, is this still the case? Is there any solution?
Thanks
