This Trendi Switch 1 Gang USB Plug Socket in Dark Green is designed for homeowners and renters looking to add convenient charging points without sacrificing aesthetics. Its key benefit is integrating two USB charging ports directly into a stylish, screwless wall socket, reducing clutter. A potential caveat is that the USB ports share a total output, meaning devices may charge slower when two are connected simultaneously.

First, turn off the power at the mains. Remove the old socket's faceplate, disconnect the wires, connect them to the new socket's terminals, and then click the new screwless faceplate into place. Always ensure you are comfortable with basic electrical work or consult a qualified electrician.
The two USB-A ports share a combined output of 2100mA (2.1A). This means the total current available for both ports is 2.1A. Charging two devices at once will split this current.
No, this socket is designed for indoor use only and does not have an IP rating for water or dust resistance.
You can charge most standard USB-powered devices, including smartphones, tablets, e-readers, portable speakers, and power banks. It uses Type A USB ports.
The product description states that the socket is made from high-quality PC plastic designed to not fade in direct sunlight.
TrendiSwitch offers a 5-year guarantee on this product.
No, it is designed to fit into compatible standard UK back boxes and wiring.
Ensure the main socket is switched on and receiving power. Check that the USB cable is fully inserted into the port. Try a different USB cable or device to rule out cable/device issues. If the problem persists, check the main fuse/breaker for the circuit.
Verify that the circuit breaker or fuse for that socket is functional. Check all wiring connections are secure (ensure power is off before checking). If the socket is switched, ensure the switch is in the 'on' position.
The two USB ports share a total output of 2.1A. Charging two devices simultaneously will divide this current, leading to slower charging for each. For faster charging, use only one USB port or consider a dedicated high-output charger.
Setup:
This socket is designed for straightforward replacement of existing single-gang sockets. Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before attempting installation. Remove the old faceplate, connect the wiring to the appropriate terminals on the new socket module, and then simply clip the new screwless faceplate into place. It is compatible with standard UK back boxes.

Care:
Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the gloss finish. The screwless design makes cleaning easier as there are no small crevices to trap dust.
