Full details

This Soho Lighting 2-gang floor socket is designed for users seeking a blend of style and functionality in their electrical outlets, particularly those who appreciate period aesthetics. Its key benefit is providing discreet, accessible power points that complement traditional interior designs with a warm, brushed brass finish. A potential caveat is that its floor-mounted design requires dedicated installation and may not be suitable for all flooring types or retrofitting into existing, non-prepared spaces. This socket offers two 13A outlets within a durable, plated brushed brass housing, measuring 86mm x 146mm x 3.5mm, part of the Elesi range.

Troubleshooting

Socket not providing power

Ensure the main power switch is on and check the circuit breaker. Verify the electrical connections were made correctly by a qualified electrician. Test with another appliance to rule out an issue with the appliance itself.

Brushed brass finish dulling

Clean the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads. For restoration, consult a specialist in metal finishing.

Loose fitting in floor

Check if the aperture was cut to the correct dimensions and if the fixing mechanisms of the socket are properly engaged. If the flooring is uneven, shims may be required (consult installer).
