As with anything from Argos which is "Half Price", take with a pinch of salt...
That said, great item, reasonable price.

Internally circa 9.5cm deep which may not be sufficient to accommodate certain plug-based power adaptors and still allow full closure of lid, esp considering circa 1cm is "stolen" by the 4-way extension block (happened to me at Christmas when attempting to use this item to protect mains-powered external lights).

just snip the 12v adapter off and plug in to a normal socket, LEDs are fine at 230v
or
install a 12v transformer at your fuse box and run a new ring mains for any outdoor lighting.
