This 13A 2-gang switched socket with integrated Super Fast Charge USB-A and USB-C ports is ideal for homeowners looking to modernize their electrical outlets and reduce device charging times. Its primary benefit is the convenience of simultaneously charging devices via USB while using the standard outlets, with USB Power Delivery (PD) offering rapid charging speeds up to 45W. A key consideration is that the total USB power will be divided if both ports are used concurrently.

The USB-C port supports USB Power Delivery (PD) with a maximum output of 45W. However, this wattage is shared if the USB-A port is also in use.
Yes, if your laptop charges via USB-C and supports USB Power Delivery up to 45W, it can be charged rapidly. You can also power your laptop via the standard 13A socket if it uses a traditional plug.
When both USB-A and USB-C ports are used simultaneously, the total available USB power (up to 45W combined) is distributed between the two ports. The exact distribution depends on the power demands of the connected devices.
Yes, to achieve the fastest charging speeds, especially with USB Power Delivery (USB-C PD), you will need a USB-C cable that is rated to support the required wattage and PD standard.
This product is described as a 'White Metal Flat Plate 13A 2 Gang Super Fast Charge USB A+C Socket' and does not specify an IP rating for water resistance. For bathroom installations, always use fixtures specifically rated for that environment (e.g., IP44 or higher) and consult with your electrician.
Specific warranty information is not provided in the product description. Please refer to the retailer or The Soho Lighting Company's official documentation for warranty details.
In most cases, yes, provided the wiring is compatible and the existing back box is deep enough to accommodate the new socket. However, this must be confirmed and performed by a qualified electrician.
Ensure the device is compatible with USB-A or USB-C PD charging. Check that the cable is functioning correctly. If charging multiple devices, unplug other USB devices to see if the port then charges the target device.
If charging two devices simultaneously via USB, the power is divided. For fastest charging, use only one USB port or ensure your device supports the maximum power output. Check if the connected USB cable is rated for fast charging.
Verify that the main power to the circuit is on. Check your consumer unit (fuse box) for any tripped breakers. Ensure the appliance plug is fully inserted into the socket.
This can occur if the device is drawing more power than the shared USB output can provide when multiple devices are connected. Try charging the device using only the USB-C PD port or ensure it's the only USB device connected for optimal speed.
Setup: Installation requires wiring into your home's mains electrical system and should only be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with building regulations.
Compatibility: The standard 13A sockets are compatible with all UK-standard plugs. The USB-A port supports standard USB charging protocols, while the USB-C PD port supports the USB Power Delivery standard for fast charging compatible devices. Ensure your devices support USB PD for maximum charging speed on the USB-C port.
Care: To clean the socket, first ensure power is switched off at the breaker. Wipe the surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Ensure no moisture enters the USB ports or socket openings.
