I had the same issue. Some plugs dont make a good connection. Try wiggling the plug that goes into the socket. Sounds weird but thats bets i could figure it out.
I know right, I think the problem is the quality of the plug going in. I had the issue with extension leads, so the cheap ones are an issue but my expensive ones are no problem.
You mean what you were plugging the outlet into? I’ve tried an extension cord first, but when raising this it was plugged directly into the wall and still had to wiggle it carefully…
I’m hoping to…
plug Outlet into wall
plug 2-way socket cube into it
plug 2x Christmas tree lights into that
Do you think that would work? Can we plug an extension lead / splitter into the outlet?
