Mains plug - not black, not white?

joujoujou

Well, if you think it's weird question, it probably is. ;-)

Vast majority od mains plugs you can buy are either black or white, no other colour options.

After long searching found transparent ones on Amazon, but the question is - if any of you ever came across other colours? Red, blue, green, orange?

If yes - where?

Any info would be much appreciated, thanks.

Orange on outdoor extension leads.

Have one myself.

Yeah, also have one, but it's moulded. Looking for DIY assembly ones.

WOW! 100 quid for the plug! Unusual price, I'd say. ;-)

Bought lamp stuff from this crowd a while ago, including a transparent 3-pin plug. They’re selling the 3-pins for about £3 each (black/white/transparent) or 2-pin Euro style plugs in a range of colours for about £1.50 each if they’d be any use. Worth having a look, they have loads of stuff available on their site.

I still have a red one bought many years ago and it was one to put on an iron or other item to highlight a need to pull it out especially on a multi set of sockets. Another useful one to have is one that has a mini handle to help pull it out. Some sockets can be stiff and some people have less strong hands.
