    4mm is too small. For 240VAC, anyway.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    And most low voltage as well.

    With low voltage you can buy 3.5mm jack sockets, so you can simply plug in a power cord.

    Of course, this depends on what sort of wattage you want it to handle... and that's the real limiting factor.

    A couple of LEDs or a clock? No problems. A 120W sub-woofer or 12V power-supply for a caravan? Forget it.

    Just a 15w lightbulb.

    What do i need apart from 3.5mm jack sockets

    Like if i want to connect a lightbulb to it.

    I just used a extension lead they use on chandiliers.

    I pull it a part and threaded through hole in the back of the cupboard.
