This Varilight Classic Georgian Brass double unswitched plug socket is ideal for homeowners looking to integrate modern USB charging capabilities into a traditional aesthetic. Its key benefit is providing convenient charging for two USB devices simultaneously without needing an adapter, while its caveat is that it is unswitched for the main sockets, meaning devices will remain powered unless unplugged. This product offers a blend of classic design and contemporary functionality, featuring two 13A unswitched sockets and two optimized 5V DC 2100mA USB charging ports, all housed in a polished brass effect finish with a white insert.
