This Alliance Electrical 2-Gang Flat Double Plug Socket with Dual USB ports is designed for homeowners and electricians looking to add convenient charging options to any room without sacrificing traditional outlets. Its key benefit is providing simultaneous power for standard appliances and USB-powered devices, reducing the need for adapters. A caveat to consider is the shared 2.1A USB output, which may offer slower charging for multiple high-power devices simultaneously.

The USB ports provide a shared output of 2.1 Amps at 5 Volts.
You can, but the 2.1A is shared between the two ports. This may result in slower charging for both devices compared to using a single port or a dedicated higher-output charger.
You will need a mounting back box with a minimum depth of 35mm.
This socket is designed for general household use. For specific regulations regarding bathroom installations, consult local building codes and a qualified electrician.
The USB ports offer a standard 5V output and do not specifically advertise support for advanced fast-charging protocols like Quick Charge or USB Power Delivery. Charging speeds may vary by device.
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch or damage the finish.
Check that the main socket power is on. Ensure the device plugged into the USB port is compatible and not faulty. If multiple devices are connected, try charging only one to test.
Verify that the circuit breaker or fuse for the relevant circuit is engaged. Check the wiring connections if you are comfortable and knowledgeable about electrical systems, or consult a qualified electrician.
This is likely due to the shared 2.1A output. Charging multiple high-drain devices simultaneously will result in slower charging for each. Disconnect one device or use a dedicated USB charger for faster charging.
Setup: This unit requires connection to your household mains electrical supply. It is designed for installation into a standard, minimum 35mm deep mounting back box. Ensure the power supply is isolated before attempting installation. Follow standard electrical wiring practices for connecting the live, neutral, and earth wires to the appropriate terminals. The USB ports draw power from the main circuit and do not require separate wiring.
Compatibility: The 13 Amp sockets are compatible with standard UK mains plugs. The USB ports are compatible with most 5V USB-powered devices, including smartphones, MP3 players, cameras, and portable gaming devices that do not require proprietary fast-charging standards.
Care: To clean the socket, first isolate the power supply. Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Ensure the unit is completely dry before restoring power.
