Varilight 1-Gang 13A Double Pole Switched Socket - Georgian Brass

A double pole switch disconnects both the live and neutral conductors simultaneously when switched off, offering a higher level of isolation compared to a single pole switch which only disconnects the live conductor.

This is a 13A switched socket. While Varilight specialises in LED dimmers, this socket itself is a power outlet and its suitability for specific LED circuits depends on the load and compatibility, but it is generally suitable for most standard mains-powered devices.

While the electrical function will be standard, for aesthetic consistency, it is recommended to use Varilight's Classic collection accessories which are designed to match the Georgian Brass finish and rope-edged faceplate style.

Use a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners, polishes, or solvents which can strip the finish or cause damage. Mild soap can be used sparingly if needed, followed by thorough drying.

Varilight products typically come with a manufacturer's warranty. Please refer to the product packaging or Varilight's official website for the specific warranty terms and duration for this socket.

Yes, due to the mains voltage involved and safety regulations, installation of all electrical wiring accessories, including sockets, must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Check that the double pole switch is in the 'ON' position. Verify that the circuit breaker or fuse at the consumer unit is active. Ensure wiring is correct and secure by consulting a qualified electrician.

If the switch feels stiff, check for obstructions around the mechanism. If it feels loose, it may require tightening by a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to overtighten.

This can occur over time with brass. Ensure only a damp cloth and mild soap solution (if necessary) is used for cleaning, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals. For significant tarnish, professional restoration might be considered.
