PARKSIDE’s non contact voltage detector sits in Lidl’s DIY and workshop range, competing with basic testers from brands like Stanley and Silverline. It’s for quick checks on mains circuits without opening up wiring or interrupting the power circuit, useful when you want reassurance before changing a socket faceplate or tracing a fault at the consumer unit. The included 2x AAA batteries mean it’s ready to use straight away, and the 3 year warranty adds some peace of mind for a budget tool.
Who is this voltage detector for?
Homeowners and DIYers who need a fast, safer first check for live AC. Audio and visual alerts help in noisy rooms or low light, while the built in white LED torch is helpful in cupboards and under stairs. It’s also aimed at fault finding, with support for locating cable breaks and blown fuses.
- Voltage range: 70 to 1000V AC for typical household mains checks
- Frequency: 50 to 60Hz, matching UK domestic supply
- Convenience: low battery indicator and auto switch off
