Product Information

Full details

This Soho Lighting Brushed Brass USB socket is designed for homeowners and renters looking to add convenient charging solutions to their living spaces. Its key benefit is integrating dual power outlets with modern USB A and USB C PD charging ports, reducing the need for separate adapters. A potential caveat is that the total USB output is shared between the two ports when both are in use.

FAQs

What is the total USB charging output?

The total USB output is 3.1 Amps (3,100mA). This power is shared between the USB A and USB C ports if both are in use simultaneously.

Can I charge my laptop with this socket?

The USB C PD port is designed for faster charging of compatible devices like smartphones and tablets. While it may provide some charge to certain laptops, it is unlikely to deliver the high wattage typically required for full laptop charging or fast power-up.

Do I need a special cable for the USB C port?

For optimal charging speeds, especially for Power Delivery (PD) compatible devices, it is recommended to use a USB C to USB C cable that supports PD. Standard USB C cables will also work but may charge at a lower rate.

Is this socket suitable for outdoor use?

No, this socket is designed for indoor use only. It is not weatherproof rated.

What is the finish of the socket?

The socket features a brushed brass finish, offering a sophisticated and modern look.

Can I install this myself?

For safety and compliance with electrical regulations, installation should be performed by a qualified electrician.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

USB device not charging or charging slowly

Ensure the device is connected to the correct USB port (PD for faster charging). Verify that the total USB output (3.1A) is not exceeded by multiple devices. Try using a single USB port for maximum output to that device. Check the USB cable for damage.

One or both 13A sockets not working

Check the main power supply and your fuse box or circuit breaker. Ensure the appliance plugged into the socket is functioning correctly. If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician.

Unit does not power on at all

This indicates a power supply issue. Turn off the power at the mains and contact a qualified electrician for inspection, as it may require professional diagnosis and repair.

  • Includes both USB A and USB C PD ports for versatile device charging.
  • Quick charge functionality speeds up charging times for compatible devices.
  • Elegant brushed brass finish enhances room aesthetics.
  • Reduces clutter by eliminating the need for separate power adapters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This unit is designed to replace a standard 2-gang UK wall socket. Due to electrical regulations, installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance.

Compatibility:

  • The 13A sockets are compatible with standard UK plugs.
  • The USB A port supports quick charging for compatible devices.
  • The USB C PD port is compatible with devices supporting Power Delivery for optimal charging speeds. Standard USB C devices will also charge, potentially at a slower rate.
  • The total USB output is 3.1A (3,100mA). If both USB ports are in use, this current is shared between them. Individual port maximums may be lower when both are active.

Care:

  • To clean, switch off the power at the fuse box before wiping the unit with a soft, dry cloth.
  • For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring no moisture enters the socket or USB ports. Dry thoroughly afterwards.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the brushed brass finish.
