This BG Electrical 800 series double socket is designed for homeowners and electricians looking to add convenient charging options to any room without sacrificing power outlets. It offers simultaneous charging for mobile devices via USB while powering standard electrical appliances, featuring smart USB technology for efficient power delivery. A potential caveat is its reliance on specific backbox depths for optimal retro-fitting.

The USB ports provide a total of 15W. This is typically sufficient for charging smartphones and smaller tablets, but may not be enough for most laptops, which often require higher wattage chargers.
BG Electrical USB sockets are guaranteed against faulty materials and workmanship for 10 years, providing peace of mind.
The auto-detection feature only supplies power when a device is connected and needs it. The standby mode activates once the device is fully charged, preventing overcharging and saving energy.
This socket is designed to fit a standard 25mm backbox, making it ideal for retro-fitting into existing installations. Ensure your existing backbox meets this depth requirement.
No, this socket is designed for indoor use only and is not rated for outdoor environmental conditions.
The white moulded plastic has inherent properties that reduce bacterial development and inhibit the growth of infectious diseases on its surface.
Type A is the traditional rectangular USB port. Type C is a newer, smaller, reversible connector that often supports faster charging and data transfer speeds, depending on the device and power source.
Ensure the device is correctly plugged into the USB port. Check that the main socket is receiving power. Try a different USB cable and device to confirm it's not an issue with the cable or the device itself. Verify that the total power draw from all ports does not exceed the socket's capacity.
Confirm that the appliance is functioning correctly by testing it in another socket. Ensure the socket is properly wired and has power supply from the mains. Check the circuit breaker or fuse in your consumer unit.
The total USB output is 15W, shared between the ports. If multiple devices are charging simultaneously, the power will be distributed. For faster charging of a single device, use only one USB port if possible or ensure the device supports the available charging rate.
While designed for high resistance to fading, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or certain chemicals can cause discolouration. Clean with a damp cloth. If discolouration is significant, it may indicate wear beyond normal use, and replacement might be considered.
Setup: This socket is designed for easy installation and retro-fitting into standard 25mm backboxes. Ensure the power supply is isolated at the main consumer unit before beginning installation. The angled, in-line, colour-coded captive screw terminals simplify wire connections. The integrated twin earth facility should be connected if required by the installation.
Compatibility: The Type G sockets are compatible with standard UK mains plugs. The USB ports (2x Type A, 1x Type C) are designed to charge most standard mobile phones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices up to a total of 15W. Ensure your charging cable is compatible with the respective USB port.
Care: Clean the front plate using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish. The white moulded plastic has inherent anti-microbial properties, but regular cleaning is still recommended for hygiene.
