Product Information

Full details

The Soho Lighting 2 Gang Switched Socket with USB-A and USB-C is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a sleek, modern electrical solution that declutters workspaces by eliminating the need for bulky charging bricks. This unit provides two 13A outlets alongside integrated USB-A and USB-C ports, offering a streamlined 3.1A shared output for your mobile devices. While its screwless, matt black aesthetic provides a sophisticated finish for industrial or contemporary spaces, users should note that the integrated USB circuitry requires a deeper-than-standard wall mounting box for safe installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I install this in a standard shallow back box?

No, the USB charging module requires a deeper-than-standard back box for safe wire termination.

Is the matt black finish prone to fingerprints?

The surface is specifically designed to be smudge-resistant to maintain a clean, professional look.

Does it support fast charging for my phone?

It provides a shared 3.1A output; while suitable for most mobile devices, it may not trigger proprietary 'super-fast' charging modes found on some high-end devices.

What is double-pole switching?

It means the switch disconnects both the live and neutral connections, providing an extra layer of safety compared to standard single-pole switches.

Are the screws visible once installed?

No, this is a screwless design where the decorative plate hides the mounting hardware.

Troubleshooting

USB ports are not charging devices

Ensure the wall socket switch is in the 'on' position and check that the cable is firmly inserted into the port.

Faceplate is not sitting flush against the wall

Check that the internal wires are neatly dressed and not obstructing the back of the module, and verify the back box is level.

Socket feels warm during heavy USB usage

A slight increase in temperature is normal when multiple devices are drawing power. If the unit becomes hot to the touch, turn it off and consult a professional.

Pros and Cons

Professional installation highly recommended due to electrical safety requirements

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with UK wiring regulations.

Back Box Requirements: Due to the space taken up by the USB charging components at the rear of the faceplate, ensure you have a standard UK double-gang back box of sufficient depth installed.
Wiring: Follow standard double-pole wiring procedures, ensuring the live and neutral connections are correctly terminated.
Mounting: Gently clip the decorative front plate onto the internal metal chassis once the wiring is secure and the chassis is screwed into the back box.
Maintenance: To clean, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the matt finish.
