This Varilight double switched plug socket with USB charging is designed for homeowners seeking a blend of traditional aesthetics and modern convenience. Its key benefit is providing standard power outlets alongside integrated USB charging, reducing the need for separate adapters. A minor caveat is that the USB ports share a maximum output, so charging multiple high-power devices simultaneously may be slower. It features a durable Matt Chrome finish with elegant brushed steel rockers and a white insert, offering a versatile look suitable for various interior styles, manufactured proudly in Great Britain with a Lifetime Guarantee.

The two USB-A ports share a total output of 12W. This means the combined power delivered to devices connected via USB will not exceed 12W.
You can charge two devices, but if both require significant power, the shared 12W limit may result in slower charging for one or both devices compared to using dedicated chargers.
No, the USB ports are designed for standard USB cables. You do not need any special plugs; simply connect your device's USB cable directly to the port.
This socket is designed for indoor use in typical room environments. It does not have the necessary IP rating for bathrooms or outdoor installations. Always refer to specific product ratings for suitability in different locations.
Varilight products, including this socket, are typically backed by a Lifetime Guarantee provided by the manufacturer, Doyle & Tratt Products Ltd.
'Double switched' means that each of the two sockets can be individually turned on or off using its own switch, separate from the other socket and the main power supply.
Always isolate the power supply first. Use a soft, dry cloth for regular cleaning. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Ensure the device is plugged into the USB port correctly. Check that the shared 12W output is not being exceeded by other connected devices. Verify the mains power is on. If problems persist, contact a qualified electrician.
Check the fuse or circuit breaker for the circuit. Ensure the device plugged into the socket is functioning correctly. If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician.
Ensure the power is isolated. Gently check if the rocker switch is properly seated. If the issue is mechanical, contact the manufacturer or a qualified electrician for assessment.
Setup: This is a mains voltage accessory and must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with current IET wiring regulations. Ensure the power supply is isolated before attempting installation. The unit replaces a standard double socket.
Compatibility: The 13A sockets are compatible with standard UK mains plugs. The USB-A ports are compatible with most USB-powered devices, including smartphones, tablets, MP3 players, and e-readers. Note the shared 12W power output when charging multiple devices.
Care: To clean, first isolate the power supply. Then, wipe the faceplate gently with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or metal polishes, as these can damage the finish.
