Soho Lighting White Metal Flat Plate 5 Amp Socket - Screwless

A 5 Amp socket is typically used for lighting circuits, ideal for powering low-power devices like table lamps, floor lamps, and certain LED lighting systems controlled by a wall switch.

No, this socket is rated for a maximum of 5 Amps and is not suitable for high-power appliances. Using it for such devices could overload the circuit and pose a safety risk.

No, this is an unswitched socket. Power to the socket is controlled by a separate wall switch connected to its circuit.

Wipe the faceplate with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to prevent damage to the finish.

The screwless design provides a cleaner, more modern aesthetic by eliminating visible screws, creating a flush and seamless appearance on the wall.

This product information does not specify IP ratings for wet areas. It is generally recommended for use in dry living spaces unless explicitly stated otherwise by the manufacturer for specific environments.

While specific standards are not detailed here, Soho Lighting products generally comply with relevant UK and European electrical safety standards for domestic installations.

Verify that the main circuit breaker is on and that the wiring to the socket is correctly connected according to the 5 Amp circuit diagram. Ensure the associated wall switch is in the 'on' position.

Check that the wall switch controlling the socket is operational and switched on. Test the connected device with another power source to rule out a device fault.

The screwless design should sit flush. If the plate appears loose, ensure it is correctly clipped onto the inner module and that the inner module is securely fixed to the backbox.
