Product Information

Full details

The B&Q 1-Way Electrical Adaptor with 2 USB Sockets is an ideal solution for homeowners and office workers looking to maximize limited wall outlet space without sacrificing connectivity. By providing a single grounded AC outlet alongside dual high-speed USB ports, this device simplifies your workspace by consolidating appliance power and mobile device charging into one unit. While it offers excellent convenience, users should note that it occupies the entire wall socket, which may limit the ability to plug in other large-form power bricks side-by-side depending on the outlet orientation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this adaptor for outdoor Christmas lights?

No, this product is intended for indoor use only and should not be exposed to moisture.

Does this adaptor provide surge protection?

While it is designed for safe power distribution, it does not function as a high-capacity surge protector for sensitive electronics.

Can I use both USB ports at the same time?

Yes, both USB ports are designed to be used simultaneously.

Will this block the second socket on a standard double-wall plate?

Depending on the spacing of your wall plate, it may obstruct access to the adjacent socket. It is best suited for single-socket configurations.

Is this safe to use with a laptop?

You can plug a laptop power brick into the AC outlet, but you should not attempt to charge a laptop directly through the USB ports, as they are designed for smaller mobile devices.

Troubleshooting

Device is not charging via USB

Check that the adaptor is pushed fully into the wall socket and verify the USB cable is functioning properly with another charger.

The adaptor feels loose in the wall socket

The wall socket may have worn-out contact springs; try the adaptor in a different, tighter socket to confirm performance.

USB charging is slower than expected

Ensure no other high-power peripherals are draining the current; disconnect secondary devices to focus power on the primary device.

Pros and Cons

Care Instructions
