Hello Stephanie,
This is a standard health & safety regulation
employed in all
venues. I believe it's to do with the electrical fittings being
temporary and that the angle and weight of several plugs going into
an adapter causes stress on the socket contacts which increases the
risk of fire.
Ah - you mean those adaptor cube things which have three or four
sockets on them, one each side? I never use those anyway, and I'd
quite understand if they were banned.
You don't however have to pay for one socket per
piece of equipment
as 4 way gangs are permitted
Thanks for clearing that up - the lighting and power order form
doesn't make a distinction between different types of adaptor. We'll
bring a watt meter to make sure we're not overloading the supply.
Cheers
Daniel
