This Deta 13A Switched Socket Outlet with 2 Gang is designed for users needing to power and charge multiple devices from a single location. Its key benefit is the integrated high-current USB ports, allowing simultaneous charging of smartphones and tablets alongside standard electrical devices. A caveat to consider is that the USB ports share a total current capacity, which may limit charging speed if multiple high-demand devices are connected.

The Deta Switched Socket Outlet features two USB ports that share a total maximum output current. While individual ports might support up to 2.4A, the combined output for both ports is limited. For optimal charging of high-demand devices, it's best to use them one at a time or be aware that charging speeds may be slower when both are in use.
Yes, due to its nature as a mains electrical fitting, this socket outlet must be installed by a qualified electrician to ensure it is fitted safely and correctly according to electrical regulations.
The socket outlets are rated at 13A, which is suitable for most standard household appliances. However, for very high-power appliances, always check the appliance's power rating against the socket's 13A limit.
The 13A sockets are compatible with standard UK and Ireland 3-pin plugs.
The USB ports are designed for standard USB charging devices like smartphones and tablets. While some laptops can charge via USB-C, these ports are generally not powerful enough to charge most laptops, which typically require higher wattage than standard USB ports can provide.
Ensure the power is off at the mains. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or liquids to prevent damage.
Check if the individual switch for that socket is turned on. Verify that the main power to the circuit is active. Ensure the device's plug is fully inserted into the socket.
Confirm the main power to the socket is on. Ensure the USB cable is properly connected to both the device and the USB port. Try a different USB cable or device to rule out cable or device issues. Check if the USB ports are overloaded by too many high-demand devices.
Check the circuit breaker or fuse for the relevant circuit in your consumer unit. If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician for inspection.
The USB ports share a maximum total current. If multiple devices requiring significant power are connected, charging speeds may be reduced. Disconnect one device or use a dedicated charger for faster individual charging.
Setup: This socket outlet is designed for mains electrical installation and must be installed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical regulations.
