This Soho Lighting Brushed Chrome socket is designed for homeowners and renters seeking a modern and integrated solution for powering and charging devices. Its key benefit is combining traditional 13A power outlets with fast-charging USB ports in a single, aesthetically pleasing unit. A potential caveat is that the total USB output is shared between the two ports, so charging multiple devices at maximum speed simultaneously may not be possible. This product features two 13A switched sockets, one USB A port with quick charge capability, and one USB C PD (Power Delivery) socket, all housed in a durable brushed chrome finish.

The total USB output is 3.1A (3100mA). This power is shared between the USB A and USB C ports if both are used simultaneously.
The USB C port supports PD, which can charge some compatible laptops. However, the shared power output might limit charging speed, and it may not be sufficient for high-power demanding laptops. The USB A port is generally not suitable for laptop charging.
Yes, it is safe to charge two devices at once, one from the USB A port and one from the USB C port. However, the 3.1A total output will be divided between them, potentially resulting in slower charging for both compared to using a single port.
Yes, you will need a USB C to USB C cable to connect your USB C compatible device to the USB C PD port on the socket.
Use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by drying with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's information for specific warranty details, as warranty periods can vary.
No, this socket is designed for indoor use only and does not have any weatherproofing ratings.
Ensure the device is compatible with USB A or USB C charging. Check if another USB device is connected simultaneously; if so, the power is shared. Try charging the device using only one USB port to see if speed improves. Confirm the device supports the charging standard (e.g., Quick Charge, PD) for optimal speeds.
Check that the individual switch for that socket is in the 'on' position. Verify the appliance plugged into the socket is functioning correctly. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician to check wiring and circuit breakers.
Check the main consumer unit (fuse box) to ensure the circuit breaker for this socket has not tripped. Verify that the mains power supply to the property is active. If all else fails, contact a qualified electrician for inspection.
Setup:
This socket is designed for mains electrical installation and *must* be installed by a qualified electrician. Ensure the power is switched off at the consumer unit before attempting any installation. Follow standard wiring procedures for a 2-gang switched socket with integrated USB.
