This Varilight 2-Gang Switched Socket with integrated USB A and USB C ports is ideal for homeowners and renovators seeking a modern, space-saving power solution with a stylish Polished Brass finish. It offers the convenience of charging devices directly from the wall socket, reducing the need for adapters, though the shared 20W output means simultaneous fast charging may be limited. Key features include its contemporary bevel-edge design, dual USB charging ports, and robust 13A switching.

The socket provides a shared total output of 20W across both the USB-A and USB-C ports.
While you can charge two devices at once, the 20W is shared. If both devices require high power, they may charge at a reduced speed compared to using a dedicated high-output charger for each.
It includes one USB Type-A port and one USB Type-C port.
Yes, it is designed as a direct replacement for standard UK 2-gang switched sockets, but installation must be performed by a qualified electrician.
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth after cleaning.
Please refer to the product packaging or Varilight's official website for specific warranty details, as these can vary.
Ensure the device is compatible with the USB port's output. Try a different USB cable and ensure the main socket is switched on. If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician.
Check if the switch for that socket is in the 'on' position. Verify that the circuit breaker for the relevant circuit has not tripped. If power is still absent, consult a qualified electrician.
The 20W output is shared between both USB ports. Charging two high-demand devices simultaneously will result in slower charging for each. Try charging only one device or ensure the device is compatible with the port's maximum output.
Setup: This unit is designed to replace a standard UK 2-gang switched socket. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with safety regulations. Ensure the power supply is isolated before beginning installation.
Compatibility: The 13A switched sockets are compatible with standard UK plugs. The USB-A and USB-C ports are compatible with most modern smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices that support charging. Always check your device's charging specifications.
Care: To maintain the Polished Brass finish, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
