Unusual and naive question.
To run fairy lights and a couple of lamps in my conservatory I've placed a 4-gang strip socket on the top shelf of the tall shelf units.
In the summer the conservatory is filled with flies and wasps and all kinds of horrid stuff and dust and specks come off them and the plants that are on the shelves including where the strip socket is.
I own a few of those plastic boxes specially made to hide and protect strip sockets but this one will not fit in one, as the plug for the fairy lights is so massive it sticks out so far the lid won't shut.
So my question is, would it be OK to cover the strip socket with cling film to keep it clean and dust, droppings and grease-free? I don't know if it would be a fire hazard.
