The Varilight 13A Double Pole Switched Socket in Bronze is designed for homeowners and interior decorators seeking to upgrade their electrical fixtures with a sophisticated, durable finish. This socket provides enhanced safety through double pole switching, ensuring both live and neutral lines are isolated when the switch is off. While the aesthetic appeal of the bronze finish is significant, users should note that maintaining its metallic luster requires consistent, gentle cleaning to avoid scratching or tarnishing the high-quality surface.

Yes, this is a double pole socket, meaning it switches both the live and neutral connections.
No, standard 13A sockets are not suitable for bathroom zones unless placed outside the specified splash zones by a professional.
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth only. Avoid chemicals and abrasive materials.
Yes, the unit is designed to fit standard UK 13A wall boxes.
No, this product is rated for indoor use only.
Verify that the mounting screws are not overtightened, which can warp the faceplate and affect switch mechanics.
Check the fuse in the appliance plug and ensure the wall switch is in the 'on' position; test the outlet with a known working device.
Installation should always be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local safety regulations and to prevent damage to the bronze faceplate. The socket is designed for a standard UK backbox. When mounting, use non-abrasive tools to tighten screws to avoid marking the bronze finish.
For maintenance, use only a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the surface requires deeper cleaning, use a very slightly damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry immediately. Avoid all chemical cleaners, acidic liquids, or scouring pads, as these will permanently damage the protective coating on the bronze plate.
