Varilight - XS4B - Matt Chrome

Double pole switching means that when the socket is switched off, both the live and neutral wires are disconnected from the circuit. This provides a higher level of safety compared to single pole switching, which only disconnects the live wire.

The Varilight XS4B requires a standard 25mm deep wall box with approximate dimensions of 85 x 85 mm.

Yes, this is a standard 13A socket and is suitable for use with any appliance that has a 13A plug, provided the total load does not exceed the circuit's capacity.

To clean the matt chrome finish, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using any abrasive cleaning chemicals or pads, as these can damage the finish.
