      It is essentially a normal power point with some extra features, so unless you are comfortable installing power points, then yes, it would be a good idea to have your sparky put them in.

          Sounds like fear-based marketing, used by those with a financial motivation.

          Can you cite a single instance of house-burning or insurance problems from a DIY socket install? Are you just trying to scare off the idiots?
          I'm quite sure that plenty of people can do it wrong, and get arcing from a bad connection, or swap L/N. But what you say does not sound honest.

          As far as I know, it won't void your insurance. Unless they can prove what ever caused the incident was caused by the fault wiring that wasn't done by a qualified sparky.

          I'm sure any courts will agree with that. Its the same as with a car, you are still covered under warranty unless they prove that one of your mods caused the issue.

          @norkle: According to the dictionary they are professionals:

          professional
          prəˈfɛʃ(ə)n(ə)l/
          1. following an occupation as a means of livelihood or for gain: a professional builder.
          2. engaged in a specified activity as one's main paid occupation rather than as an amateur.

          People seem to think 'professional' means 'expert'. It does not. It can mean expert, but it can also be anybody paid to do something.

          Think Windows XP Professional.

          Taxi drivers are professional drivers. Does that mean they are the best drivers on the roads? I doubt anybody thinks so.

          @SteveAndBelle: New homes are the domain of the dregs of the house basher world. Alot of the time you will probably even find it's just apprentices doing the work. The project home companies pay rubbish money and in return get rubbish work.

          If the work was incorrect you should have contacted the regulatory authority or electricity distributor in your area and persisted until they came out and issued a defect on the work.

        • SteveAndBelle on 21/07/2014 - 22:00

          @stewy:
          I wish it was that simple. It wasn't a project home, it was a custom build and a bloody expensive one at that! It dragged on 9 months longer than it should've due to shoddy management, supervision and continual tradie fights on site. The workmanship is disgraceful and even while typing I can smell sewer gas rising from a pre-plumbed floor waste that hasn't been sealed off properly (job no. 1278 on my list). We got so fed up with the ongoing mess that we kicked all tradespeople out at the 12 month mark because as the each trade came through to fix their share of the 1500+ defects we had catalogued they would in turn damage other aspects resulting in a never-ending stream of tradie visits, finger-pointing and lack of ownership and responsibility… oh, and more damage.

          The reason I haven't bothered to take it further is that during the process I made good friends with some folk connected to others in the BSA and they told me that although the build turned out to be a complete joke taking further will simply result in a box-ticker inspecting it all and reporting it as 'acceptable' anyway. A pointless, stressful & expensive exercise and after ripping my hair out for 2 years I wasn't keen to go through.

          So, since moving in I've managed to address many issues myself including (but not limited to) leaking roofs, leaking guttering, faulty solar HWS (thermostat & and tempering valve), dodgy gas pipe joins, extremely poor electrical work and overall very poor attention to detail across the board. We've now also noticed that large cracks are appearing through the plasterwork on one side of the house and although I'm a realist and understand that we're on reactive soil and know that things will move and crack these are pretty big and quite concerning so we'll have to see how they develop too. In another couple of years I should have the house at an acceptable standard to sell on with the knowledge that it will at least be a safe house to live in. The only thing that will let it down and affect its resale value is the poor workmanship found all over the place but most of it is cosmetic and I'm not going to be bothered fixing that.

          Once the house is sold and we've moved elsewhere I will then deal with all involved in my own way.

        I think it's a less of a "unless you are comfortable" and more of a "you must use a licensed electrician" to install it :)

          No, its an "unless you are comfortable" situation. Even installing a car's radio is technically a "you must use a licensed auto-electrician" situation however its unreasonably tedious and not a legal requirement.

          WHO IS ALLOWED TO REPLACE A PLUG OR SOCKET?

          Plugs and extension cord sockets may be replaced by a non-electrically trained person, provided the
          person has been trained and found competent to fit plugs and sockets according to the manufacturer’s
          instructions.

        • lplau on 21/07/2014 - 10:56

          @ausmechkeyboards: Actually what you just quoted, states the "unless you are confortable" situation.

          It doesn't say it must be licenced or qualified, it says "trained and found competent", trained can mean anything. Therefore you can read the manufacturer's instructions and train yourself to those instructions hence meeting that criteria.

        • ausmechkeyboards on 21/07/2014 - 10:59

          Yes, I know what I quoted. Re-read what I said- I am against the people suggesting you need a licensed electrician.

        • Smigit on 21/07/2014 - 11:08

          @ausmechkeyboards

          person has been trained and found competent

          I'd imagine most people don't meet that requirement, especially if you review how they define "competent person" which is

          Some tasks associated with electrical installation inspection and testing will require a particular competence, such as a formal electrical qualification and/or licence. Therefore a qualified and licensed electrician can only undertake such work.

          Other tasks, such as the inspection, testing and tagging of plug-in type electrical equipment, can be carried out by a ‘competent person’, who does not have a formal electrical qualifications. Such a person must still be able to demonstrate they have the necessary training, qualification or experience, (or a combination of them), to carry out the inspecting and testing task in a competent manner.

          From that last sentence, I don't think reading the manual would count as training or experience.

          Not to say that it would be difficult and reading a manual wouldn't get you to the same end point anyway from a functional view, but if you had to go to court based purely on whats in that specific document you'd want some proof you received reasonable levels of training to back you up, if things came to that.

          @ausmechkeyboards:

          What you link to there has to do with extension leads and plugs on electrical appliances.

          This post is about wall sockets. Infrastructure. Fixed wiring. Covered by the Electrical Safety Act.

          e.g. https://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/LEGISLTN/CURRENT/E/Electr…

          55 Requirement for electrical work licence
          (1) A person must not perform or supervise electrical work
          unless—
          (a) the person is the holder of an electrical work licence in
          force under this Act; and
          (b) the licence authorises the person to perform the work.
          Maximum penalty—400 penalty units.

          Of course, different wording for different states, but the overall result will be the same. You are not allowed to DIY fixed wiring… even something as simple as replacing a powerpoint.

          @Smigit: competent in this context means following the manual and familiar with the tools. It clearly says it can be performed by a non-electrically trained person, which is sufficient to remove any suggestion of formal electrical education.

          Yes, you are. And what I cited makes it extremely clear, regardless of how you try to reinterpret it to fit your perceptions.

          If you don't want to do DIY work, don't do it. But legally, you are more than able to replace your own electrical socket. At least in every state other than Queensland, if what you're suggesting holds any weight.

      No, it is very simple. But some people get confused about the meaning of the word "requires".
      The device does not require expertise, just following instructions and basic electrical knowledge.

        If its illegal, then can you find any laws or regulations which cite this?
        From what I have seen on the web it only implies that you must be trained and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

          I'm also a little concerned by your 'source', ("many comments in this deal"), that each and every ozbargainer use the phrases 'merely advertising' and 'advertising' as one and the same phrase. As one of the only 4 people who have used the phrase in this particular post, that clearly shows that 25% of all ozbargain users are indeed unaware that different phrases do in fact mean the same thing.

        • caprimulgus on 21/07/2014 - 14:28

          @andy19363:

          firstly, it's not mind reading. It's reading comprehension and interpretation using deductive reasoning: obviously EVERY SINGLE POST on ozbargain (whether by a rep or not) is advertising in the broad sense. So when people say "advertising is not allowed", obviously, to anyone with half a brain, it's clear they don't mean every single post is not allowed (the literal meaning of those words in the broadest sense) - that is clearly absurd. Now if the broad meaning of those words is clearly absurd, by deduction, obviously a different meaning of "advertising" (a context specific one) is intended.

          secondly, i never said EVERY ozbargainer says advertising to mean merely advertising - i said that people do: SOME people. Again, your interpretation is clearly (to anyone with half a brain) nonsensical. The "some" is clearly implied, and the point is clearly that it is common parlance, which my "source" clearly evidences.

          I'm sorry that your logical faculties are not developed enough to comprehend this "mind reading" MAGIC i've expected of you (junior high school level reading comprehension)…my bad.

          thanks for turning 10 seconds of laziness (not being bothered to edit my original post to add the word merely, which I've already explained i was going to do just to clarify for anyone who needed it spelled out for them) into a gigantic waste of time explaining something so simple to you (reading comprehension and interpretation) that i really do not care about in the slightest, in a deal i really have no interest in…thanks for that.

          Clearly, despite your claim, there is no such ruling regarding advertising, (merely, blatantly, simply, etc). Indeed, negs and posts will get removed by moderators if the only reason given is 'marketing' (merely or otherwise).

          So when people say "advertising is not allowed"

          They are wrong

          (Try not to worry too much about how much brain I have, or what my reading and comprehension level is like )

          yeah:

          let's leave it at that. (and by "let's" i mean "let us", with "us" meaning "you & I", and by "leave it at that" i mean "stop talking to each other").

          there was an implied "shut up" in there. ;)

          Rather than implying anything here, I will try and make this as clear and direct as I can to the both of you…
          Enough of the banter, bullshit and utter drivel. Like previously stated, "stop talking to each other" and/or "shut up"!!!

          happy for the whole thing to be deleted! (sorry, i took the bait!) :)

          mods: feel free to edit my first comment to say "merely advertising" or "marketing" or whatever you want to call it (as i clearly intended from the start, before it went off-topic!).

          Yes… unfortunately you edited whilst I was posting…. the post I responded to ended with "my bad"… (actually it was "mu bad", but let's not get petty), and some thoughts about my logical faculties and reading….

    and that price doesnt include shipping. Follow the posting rules!

      The price does include shipping. No shipping is charged when you get to checkout.

    Is this AS/NZS/IEC certified? Can't seem to find it on your descriptions

      The unit is most definitely certified for use in Australia and has SAA approval. Guy's we are not some random company posting uncertified products. Do some research on us. We are an Australian On-line retailer with offices and warehousing in both Sydney and Melbourne. We stock 13 000 products from the biggest lighting companies in Australia. EVERYTHING we sell is certified and approved for sale in Australia.

  • Pobman on 21/07/2014 - 10:50

    In QLD it's 5 cents cheaper to buy it through your eBay store than direct, $39.93 vs 39.98 when postage is added… given the fees/costs of selling on eBay I would have thought it should be cheaper to buy direct?

      I am not sure why you see shipping direct from us. This item has FREE Shipping attached to it. Our developers has just tested this and it is working fine. The price is 32.99 including shipping. There should be more shipping showing up once you check to checkout.

      • Pobman on 21/07/2014 - 11:06

        OH I see… ok your sales page quotes shipping at "QLD Shipping - $6.99" but when you get to checkout it changes to "Free Shipping $0.00".

        Though some other items are still cheaper on your eBay, so that point itself is still valid. i.e.

        Single Power Outlet Surge Protected With 4 USB Charger Outlets Jackson
        Site $39.98 delivered
        eBay $36.81 delivered

        Quite like the look of that particular item, I presume it's 1A per USB and not 1A total?

        • Store RepGoLights @ GoLights on 21/07/2014 - 11:45

          That product is 1A per USB. Our pricing strategy on eBay varies stater to state, so yes at times our ebay store is cheaper than our site.

      Power boards are not the same product. They are big, bulky and look out of place wherever they go.

  • SmartCover on 21/07/2014 - 11:02

    based on Rep's historical posts I say meh…. though I do give credit for your prompt replies.

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/96776/nodes

    best deal had 4+, worst deal had 6-

    left for the rest to decide.

  • [Deactivated] on 21/07/2014 - 11:04

    Always wanted one of these, but I'll wait for a Australian tick version.

  • Ijuiceman on 21/07/2014 - 11:06

    I just ordered one, as they are a great item and will save having bulky power packs.
    As others have mentioned, you must use a licensed sparkey to install them, as they are 240v.
    I also think these are a bargain, as I have not seen them under $50 for AU stock.

    The first picture isn't the item..

    • Store RepGoLights @ GoLights on 21/07/2014 - 11:08

      We changed the design to have vertical USB sockets to make more room for bulkier chargers that need to use the general power outlets. The vertical design is MUCH better because of this.

      • kusama on 21/07/2014 - 11:21

        And the shape. I'm not sure what my wall outlets look like in my new place so will have to pass but I do like the price.

        • Snoop on 21/07/2014 - 11:24

          Most GPOs are fairly standard in shape and size!

    for a new home may be.
    regular 2A chargers are cheap, plenty and everywhere.
    This deal's price is too high to consider.

  • kml22 on 21/07/2014 - 11:34

    Looking at the photo, 2100mA for each port, nice.

  • tictac242 on 21/07/2014 - 11:53

    Rep, when you switch the power point off does it switch off the USB port as well, or is the USB socket on 24hours? If so how do you switch it off? I'm assuming the 3W you quoted was on the AC side. Is that 3W when on but nothing plugged in or is when the DC side is drawing the full 2.1 amps (10.5 W DC)?

    • Store RepGoLights @ GoLights on 21/07/2014 - 12:00

      You can no isolate the USB port. Once you unplug the USB cable it stops the circuit and as a result the USB socket sits idle.

  • Fixit on 21/07/2014 - 11:53

    This one on ebay sells for $23.69 with free postage it is Australian SAA approved and the approval no. is SAA121264EA
