Product Information

Full details

The Trendi Switch 1 Gang USB Switched Plug Socket is an ideal choice for homeowners and interior designers seeking a modern, clutter-free power solution. This socket integrates a standard 13A switched outlet with dual 2.1A USB ports, allowing you to charge mobile devices without occupying the main power outlet. While its slim, screwless 9mm profile provides a sophisticated finish, users should note that it requires a minimum 47mm depth back box, which may necessitate an upgrade from shallower standard electrical boxes.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I charge two devices at the same time?

Yes, the 2100mA output is shared between the two USB ports, allowing you to charge two devices simultaneously.

What is the maximum installation depth required?

The product requires a 35mm installation depth, but a 47mm back box is recommended for easier wiring and a flush fit.

Does this socket support fast charging?

The ports provide a standard 2.1A output, which is suitable for standard charging but may be slower than dedicated high-wattage fast chargers.

Is this socket suitable for outdoor use?

No, this product is strictly designed for indoor domestic use and should not be exposed to moisture or extreme environmental conditions.

Can I replace a standard 1-gang socket with this unit?

Yes, provided your existing electrical wall box meets the depth requirements of 47mm or deeper.

Does it come with screws for installation?

As a screwless model, the faceplate clips on for a clean look, though internal mounting screws are included for securing the base to the back box.

Troubleshooting

USB devices are not charging

Ensure the main power switch for the socket is toggled to the ON position and check that the USB cable is fully seated in the port.

The faceplate does not sit flush against the wall

Check the back box depth; if it is less than 47mm, the wiring or the unit itself may be preventing a flat fit. Consider installing a deeper back box.

Appliance plugged into the 13A socket is not working

Verify the appliance plug is secure and test the appliance in another known working outlet to rule out a device fault.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated USB ports eliminate the need for bulky charging bricks
  • Modern screwless aesthetic enhances contemporary interior decor
  • Easy to clean, high-gloss surface
  • Consistent 2.1A charging output for standard mobile devices
  • Durable construction meeting strict safety regulations

Cons

  • Requires a deep 47mm back box which may not be present in older homes
  • Single gang design limits standard power outlet count
  • USB charging speed may be slower compared to modern fast-charging power banks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should always be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with building regulations. The unit requires an installation depth of 35mm to 47mm. For the best physical fit, a 47mm or deeper back box is highly recommended. Compatibility is limited to standard indoor domestic AC supplies of 220-250V. For maintenance, keep the faceplate looking new by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or solvents, as these may damage the glossy finish or the electrical components inside the socket.
