Product Information

Full details

The Trendi Switch 2 Gang 13amp 2 Port USB Designer Plug Socket is designed for homeowners and office managers looking to combine modern aesthetic appeal with functional charging capabilities. It provides the key benefit of integrated dual USB charging (Type A and Type C) alongside traditional power, reducing clutter by eliminating the need for bulky charging bricks. A notable caveat to consider is that the screwless faceplate design requires careful handling during installation to ensure a flush fit against the wall.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this socket require a deep backbox?

Yes, it is recommended to use a standard 35mm deep backbox to ensure sufficient space for the wiring and the USB module.

Can I use both USB ports at the same time?

Yes, the ports are designed to be used simultaneously, though the total output is shared at 3.1 amps.

Is the USB Type C port compatible with fast charging?

The ports provide standard high-speed charging suitable for most smartphones and tablets, though they may not support specific proprietary 'super-fast' charging protocols.

What is the benefit of a double pole switch?

Double pole switches disconnect both the live and neutral wires, providing a higher level of safety during maintenance or in the event of a fault.

Can I paint over the silver finish?

It is not recommended, as painting may interfere with the screwless fit and the aesthetic finish of the product.

Troubleshooting

USB ports are not charging devices.

Ensure the wall socket switch is in the 'On' position and check that the USB cable is fully inserted and functioning.

The screwless cover is loose or does not sit flush.

Check that the inner mounting frame is level and that the mounting screws are tightened sufficiently before snapping the faceplate on.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated Type A and Type C USB ports
  • Modern, screwless designer aesthetic
  • Reliable double pole protection
  • Easy to keep clean due to smooth surface
  • Combines power and charging in one footprint

Cons

  • Requires professional installation for safety
  • Silver finish may show fingerprints more than matte white
  • Screwless clips can be delicate if removed frequently

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should always be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical standards. Begin by turning off the main power supply at the consumer unit. The screwless faceplate consists of an inner frame that mounts to the backbox; secure the wiring before snapping the silver decorative cover into place. For maintenance, avoid abrasive cleaning agents. Simply wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly dampened microfiber cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Avoid spraying liquid cleaners directly onto the ports.
