This Trendi Switch 1 Gang Plug Socket with dual USB ports is designed for homeowners seeking a modern, minimalist electrical solution that integrates charging capabilities directly into their walls. Its primary benefit is the convenience of having two 2.1mA USB ports for charging devices without needing a separate adapter, all housed within a sleek, screwless, high-quality fireproof ABS plastic finish. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific screwless plate design, which requires careful alignment during installation to achieve its intended seamless look.

The main socket is a standard 13 Amp plug socket.
It features two USB ports, each with an output of 2.1mA, suitable for charging most mobile devices.
The socket is made from high-quality, fireproof ABS plastic with a glossy piano black finish.
It requires a standard UK single-gang electrical backbox with a minimum installation depth of 35mm.
The screwless plate is designed to clip on easily over the main socket body. Proper alignment is key to achieving a neat finish. Professional installation is recommended for those unsure about electrical work.
The product dimensions are 85mm x 85mm.
The Trendi Switch Plug Socket comes with a five-year warranty.
The USB ports provide 2.1mA, which is suitable for standard charging of most smartphones and tablets. For devices requiring specific fast-charging protocols, results may vary.
Check that the main power to the socket is live. Ensure the device's USB cable is functional and properly inserted. Verify that the device is not drawing more than 2.1mA per port.
Confirm that the circuit breaker for this socket is in the 'ON' position. Check the wiring connections if you are comfortable and knowledgeable about electrical work, or contact a qualified electrician.
Ensure the main body of the socket is correctly mounted and all wires are neatly tucked into the backbox. Check that the backbox is securely fitted to the wall and is of the correct depth (minimum 35mm).
Scratches on glossy finishes can be difficult to remove. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. Minor scuffs may be less visible when the surface is clean.
Setup:
This is a standard UK 13 Amp socket replacement and requires wiring into your home's electrical system. Ensure the power is switched off at the main consumer unit before commencing any work. The screwless plate simply clips into place over the main unit once the wiring is complete. Professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with electrical work.
