Product Information

Full details

This Long Life Lamps Company BE776KME wall socket is designed for users who appreciate vintage aesthetics but require modern functionality. Its key benefit is offering both traditional power outlets and convenient USB charging ports in a single, stylish unit, eliminating the need for multiple adapters. A minor caveat is that the USB ports have fixed amperage outputs, which may not suit all high-power fast-charging devices.

FAQs

Can I use my high-speed phone charger with this socket?

The USB ports provide 2.1A and 1.0A. If your phone's fast charger relies on specific protocols beyond these amperage levels (like USB PD or Quick Charge), it may charge at a standard speed or not charge at all. It is best suited for devices that charge efficiently within these amperage limits.

Can I charge my laptop using the USB ports?

The 2.1A USB port may provide a slow charge for some low-power laptops or via their USB-C adapters, but it is not designed for high-power laptop charging. For reliable laptop charging, use the main 13A socket with your laptop's original power adapter.

Is this socket suitable for outdoor use?

No, this product is designed for indoor use only. It is not weatherproof.

What is the finish of the socket?

The socket features an antique brass color with a smooth shape and decorative screws to achieve a vintage look.

How many devices can I plug in at once?

You can use both USB ports simultaneously with two devices, and also plug in a third device into the 3-pin wall socket at the same time.

What type of USB ports are these?

These are standard USB Type-A ports.

Troubleshooting

USB port not charging device

Ensure the device's USB cable is fully inserted into the port. Try a different USB cable. Confirm the device is compatible with the port's amperage (2.1A or 1.0A) and that the main power is connected. Check if the other USB port or the main socket is drawing significant power.

Both USB ports charging slowly

The total amperage drawn from both USB ports may be close to their combined maximum. Disconnect one device to see if charging speed improves for the other. Ensure the main socket is not overloaded.

Socket feels loose or unstable

This may indicate an issue with the installation. Please contact a qualified electrician to check the mounting and wiring.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This unit is a wall socket and requires professional electrical installation. Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before attempting installation. Follow standard electrical wiring procedures for wall sockets.

Compatibility:

  • The main sockets are standard 13A outlets compatible with UK-style 3-pin plugs.
  • The USB ports are compatible with most devices that charge via USB Type-A cables. The 2.1A port is suitable for tablets and larger devices, while the 1.0A port is ideal for smartphones and smaller gadgets.
  • Please note that the USB ports do not support fast-charging protocols like USB Power Delivery (PD) or Qualcomm Quick Charge if the device requires it beyond the stated amperage.

Care:

  • Clean the socket with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish.
  • Ensure the USB ports are free from dust and debris. A can of compressed air can be used for gentle cleaning.
