The Varilight 2-Gang 13A Single Pole Switched Socket in Georgian Polished Brass is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking to blend traditional, sophisticated aesthetics with modern power delivery requirements. Its key benefit is the integration of both USB-A and USB-C ports alongside standard 13A power outlets, eliminating the need for bulky charging adapters; however, users should note that the Georgian rope-edge design requires careful installation to ensure the faceplate sits flush against uneven wall surfaces.

Electrical work should always be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with safety standards and building regulations.
The USB-C port is designed for standard mobile device charging and may not provide sufficient wattage for high-demand laptop power requirements.
The product features a protective lacquer to prevent oxidation; however, excessive cleaning with harsh chemicals will damage this layer and lead to natural tarnish.
It is recommended to use a back box with a minimum depth of 35mm to ensure enough room for the integrated USB charging components.
Yes, this socket includes an Earth terminal as required by UK electrical standards for safety.
The USB ports are linked to the switched socket; ensure the main switch is on to allow power to reach the USB circuitry.
Verify that the main wall switch is in the 'ON' position and check that the cable being used for charging is functional.
Ensure the back box is not recessed too deeply into the wall or obstructed by plaster; use appropriate spacers if necessary.
Check that the mounting screws are tightened securely into the wall back box.
Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with current IET wiring regulations. Ensure the power is isolated at the mains before attempting any replacement of existing sockets. Compatibility is standard for UK 2-gang back boxes, though deeper back boxes are recommended to accommodate the internal circuitry of the USB ports. To care for the Georgian Polished Brass finish, use only a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid all abrasive cleaners, polishes, or chemical solvents, as these will permanently strip the protective lacquer and lead to tarnishing of the brass surface.
