Product Information

Full details

The Trendi Switch 2 Gang 13 Amp Switched Plug Socket is an ideal upgrade for homeowners and interior designers seeking to blend modern aesthetics with multi-device utility. Its standout feature is the inclusion of both USB Type A and Type C ports, allowing for the convenient charging of modern mobile devices alongside traditional appliances. While this unit offers a vibrant, fade-resistant pink finish and a sleek screwless design, users must ensure they have a 35mm deep backbox installed to accommodate the internal wiring components.

FAQs

Does this socket require a neutral wire?

Yes, as it contains active electronic USB components, it requires a neutral connection to function.

Can I use this in the bathroom?

No, this socket is not IP-rated for wet zones. It is intended for dry indoor areas only.

What is the maximum output for the USB ports?

The combined output across both USB ports is 3.1 amps.

Is the faceplate removable for painting?

The screwless faceplate can be removed for maintenance, but it is factory-finished and not intended to be painted.

Does this support USB-C PD (Power Delivery)?

No, the USB-C port is for standard charging and does not support Power Delivery (PD) fast-charging protocols.

Troubleshooting

USB ports are not charging devices

Verify the socket is switched on at the wall and ensure the device cable is functional and firmly inserted.

Socket faceplate does not sit flush against the wall

Check that your backbox is at least 35mm deep and that all wires are tucked neatly behind the unit without obstruction.

Device charging speed is very slow

Note that the 3.1 amp total output is shared; charging multiple high-demand devices simultaneously may reduce the power delivered to each port.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated USB ports eliminate the need for bulky charging bricks
  • Modern, screwless design enhances interior room aesthetics
  • Fade-resistant material maintains visual appeal
  • Supports both USB Type A and Type C charging cables

Cons

  • Requires a deeper 35mm wall backbox for installation
  • Vibrant pink finish may not suit every traditional decor style
  • Does not support fast-charging protocols for high-power laptops

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a competent individual or qualified electrician. The unit fits a standard 146 x 85mm footprint. Ensure your existing wall backbox has a depth of at least 35mm, as the internal charging circuitry requires more space than a standard non-USB socket. When installing, ensure the power is isolated at the mains. To clean the faceplate, simply wipe it down with a dry or slightly damp non-abrasive cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade the finish. Always ensure the socket is wired for a 220/250V AC supply as per manufacturer specifications.
