Product Information

Full details

This Trendi Switch 2 Gang USB Switched Plug Socket in Copper is ideal for homeowners looking to upgrade their electrical outlets with modern charging capabilities and a sleek aesthetic. Its key benefit is offering dual USB ports (Type A and Type C) alongside traditional sockets for convenient, fast device charging. A minor consideration is that the glossy finish, while resistant to fading, may show fingerprints more readily than matte finishes.

Troubleshooting

USB port not charging devices

Ensure the main socket is switched on. Verify that the device is compatible with the USB output (typically 5V). Try a different USB cable and device. If the issue persists, check wiring connections or contact support.

Socket not providing power

Check that the relevant circuit breaker is switched on at the consumer unit. Ensure all wiring connections are secure and correctly made. Test with a different appliance to confirm the socket is the issue.

Faceplate does not fit flush
