This Soho Lighting Polished Chrome Double Socket with USB is ideal for homeowners and renovators looking to integrate modern charging convenience with classic electrical outlets. Its primary benefit is providing dual USB-A ports for charging devices directly, reducing the need for adapters, while complementing various interior styles from contemporary to period designs. A caveat to consider is that the USB ports offer a combined 3.1A output, which may charge multiple devices slower than individual high-output chargers. Key features include a polished chrome finish, black inserts, two standard 13A sockets, and integrated USB-A ports.

The product comes with a 3-year guarantee from the manufacturer.
Use a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
It conforms to BS 1363 and BS EN 60590-1 safety standards.
Ensure the mains power to the socket is on. Check that the device's USB cable is fully inserted into both the device and the socket. Try a different USB cable or device to rule out cable/device fault. Confirm the total device power draw does not exceed the 3.1A combined limit.
Check the household fuse or circuit breaker controlling the socket. Ensure the appliance plugged into the socket is functional. If the problem persists, contact a qualified electrician for inspection.
Turn off mains power immediately. Contact a qualified electrician to assess and safely secure or replace the unit. Do not attempt to tighten or repair yourself.
Setup: Installation of this double socket requires disconnecting the mains power supply before commencing. It is designed to replace a standard UK double socket and must be wired by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with BS 1363 standards. Ensure the electrical backbox is suitable and provides adequate depth for the unit.
Compatibility: The 13A sockets are compatible with all standard UK mains plugs. The USB-A ports are compatible with most USB-powered devices, including smartphones, tablets, power banks, and e-readers. The total charging current is 3.1A, shared between the two ports.
Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Ensure no liquid enters the socket openings or USB ports during cleaning.
