Product Information

Full details

The Varilight 2-Gang 13A Double Pole Switched Socket is designed for homeowners and interior designers looking to blend high-end aesthetics with essential electrical functionality. Its primary benefit is the luxurious brushed copper finish that serves as a sophisticated focal point in both contemporary and traditional room designs. While it offers superior build quality and a lifetime guarantee, potential users should note that the metallic finish requires consistent maintenance to prevent fingerprints and tarnishing compared to standard white plastic plates.

FAQs

Is this socket compatible with standard UK back boxes?

Yes, this unit is designed to fit standard UK 2-gang electrical back boxes.

What does double pole switching mean?

Double pole switching means the device disconnects both the live and neutral wires, providing a higher level of safety compared to single pole switches.

Is the finish prone to scratching?

While the metal construction is durable, the brushed copper finish can be scratched if treated with abrasive materials or harsh cleaning tools.

Does this product come with a warranty?

Yes, Varilight provides a lifetime guarantee on this decorative wiring accessory.

Can I install this in a bathroom?

No, this socket is designed for standard indoor living areas and is not IP-rated for use in wet rooms or bathrooms.

Troubleshooting

Socket feels loose against the wall

Check that the mounting screws are tightened appropriately into the back box and ensure no wires are trapped behind the plate.

Switch feels stiff or unresponsive

Inspect for any debris caught in the rocker mechanism or ensure the faceplate is not being warped by uneven wall surfaces during installation.

Visible tarnishing or dulling

Clean the surface with a specialist metal polish designed for brushed copper to restore the protective finish.

Pros and Cons

  • Double pole switching for enhanced safety
  • Comprehensive lifetime guarantee

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this socket, ensure the power is fully isolated at the consumer unit before beginning. It is designed to fit standard 2-gang flush-mounted electrical back boxes. Because this is a metal product, it is essential to ensure the earth wire is securely connected to the designated earth terminal on the back plate to meet safety regulations. For care, avoid using abrasive chemical cleaners. Instead, wipe the surface gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. If the finish becomes dull, a light application of a non-abrasive metal polish suitable for brushed copper can help restore its original luster.
