This BG Electrical Single Switched Socket with 2x USB Ports in Polished Chrome is ideal for homeowners and renters looking to declutter charging cables and power adapters. Its key benefit is offering a traditional 13A power outlet alongside two integrated USB ports, allowing simultaneous device charging without sacrificing plug sockets. A potential caveat is that the total USB output is 2.1A, which might be slower for charging multiple high-power devices compared to dedicated chargers.

The USB ports provide a total output of 2.1A at 5V. This is generally insufficient for most laptops, which require higher voltage and amperage. It is recommended to use the main 13A socket for laptop charging.
These USB ports provide a standard 5V output with a combined maximum of 2.1A. They do not support proprietary fast charging protocols like Quick Charge or USB Power Delivery.
The total combined output for the two USB ports is 2.1 Amps at 5 Volts.
No, this socket is designed for indoor use only and does not have any weatherproofing rating.
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the chrome plating.
While it can be installed in a kitchen, installation in a bathroom is subject to specific UK electrical regulations regarding zones and IP ratings for electrical accessories. Consult with a qualified electrician.
Information regarding the specific warranty period should be checked with the retailer or manufacturer's documentation, as it can vary.
Ensure the USB cable is properly connected to both the device and the socket. Try a different USB cable or device to rule out cable or device issues. Verify that the main socket is switched on.
The total USB output is 2.1A shared between two ports. Charging multiple devices simultaneously will divide this current. For faster charging, use only one USB port or use the main 13A socket with a dedicated charger.
Check that the appliance plugged into the main socket is functioning correctly and that the socket switch is in the 'on' position. If the issue persists, check your home's circuit breaker or fuse box.
Setup: This socket is designed to replace a standard single UK mains socket. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical regulations. Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before attempting any installation.
Compatibility: The main socket is a standard 13A Type G outlet. The USB ports are compatible with any device that charges via a standard USB-A to device cable (e.g., smartphones, tablets, MP3 players, power banks). The total USB output is 5V/2.1A.
Care: To clean the polished chrome finish, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Regular dusting with a dry cloth will help maintain its appearance. Ensure no liquids come into contact with the electrical components.
