Hi all I'm wondering if i can plug my Series X in to this as seen in the picture there's 1 socket free but want to make sure, I'm from the UK and I know our mains sockets dish out twice the voltage as US outlets (US 120v & UK 240v) if that will make any difference.. Thanks
You should be fine enough with it. With socket extenders you just need to make sure something that uses massive amounts of power, such as a kettle, aren't plugged into them. Things like chargers, consoles and televisions are grand as they don't draw down too much power.
My partner uses one of those for his gaming PC and console setup and it's never presented an issue.
If you want to be as safe as possible, check the wattage for each device and add them together. It shouldn't exceed around 3,000 watts if I remember correctly

Sorry can't help with that but i just wanted to say hello to a fellow Leeds United fan! Unfortunately we're struggling a bit this year with injuries to key players like Bamford and Phillips so I'm getting a little worried but hopefully we'll be ok. I live up in Scotland so haven't been able to get to a game since the Champions League days when we got to the semi-final
@sheldonlufc Just to back up what @alpacatears has already said. UK voltage is technically 230V so assuming the extension has a 13amp fuse your limit is just under 3000W (W = Voltage x Current). I've seen extensions with 10amp fuses, so your limit there will be around 2300W. Series X draws about 200W if I remember correctly so as long as you've nothing connected drawing major power - usually stuff with a heating element like a kettle, heater, toaster etc - then you'll be fine.
