    Does anyone know where you can get Irish/UK versions of this sort of product?

    I'm looking at a situation where sockets may be installed in a location with limited clearance below. If we used something like this then the clearance below wouldn't be an issue as the socket could be rotated so that the lead came out at 90, 180 or 270 degrees or anywhere in between.

    I know we could simply install the entire socket fixture upside down, but that's not really the problem we're looking to fix. We are likely to need some of the sockets going one direction and some in the other direction at different times, so freely rotating sockets sound like the best idea.

    I've also seen US plug-in products which plug straight into a fixed socket, and which then rotate themselves. So you stick your plug into a receptor which rotates and then plugs into the wall socket.

    Any suggestions on suppliers or stockists?

    Thanks,
