Product Information

Full details

The Deta SD1331SSB is an ideal solution for homeowners and electricians looking to install dedicated 5 Amp lighting circuits for bedside lamps or occasional lighting controlled by a wall switch. This unswitched socket provides a sleek, low-profile aesthetic with its 7mm deep front plate, though users should note that it requires a separate switch to manage power flow since the socket itself lacks an on/off mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should always be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with current wiring regulations. Ensure the back box depth is at least 25mm to accommodate the wiring terminals safely. When installing, align the socket with the 60.3mm fixing holes of your back box. Maintenance is minimal; keep the faceplate clean by wiping with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can degrade the finish of the plate. Always verify that the circuit is isolated before conducting any cleaning or maintenance around the wiring terminals.
