    Lamps flickering when plugged into extension lead

    Hello I have two desk top lamps plugged into an extension lead. If I add a small laptop, the lamps flicker. I tried a different extension lead - same result. Does this indicate a fault with the electrics? :confused5: Or could it be a fault with the laptop plug/adapter? Cheers
