Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this socket need an earth connection?

Yes, like all metal electrical accessories, this shaver socket must be properly earthed by a qualified professional.

Can this be installed in a shower cubicle?

No, this socket must be installed outside of Zones 0, 1, and 2 of the bathroom as defined by current electrical safety regulations.

What is the finish of this product?

The finish is a premium black brushed steel, designed to offer a metallic, textured modern appearance.

Is the faceplate interchangeable with other colors?

No, the faceplate is specific to the Varilight Dimension screwless range and the finish should not be swapped with other brands.

Can I use this for high-wattage appliances like hair dryers?

No, this is a dedicated shaver socket intended for shavers and electric toothbrushes only; it is not designed to support high-draw appliances.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not provide power to the device

Verify that the shaver or toothbrush is fully charged or functional in another outlet, and ensure the circuit breaker at the consumer unit is switched on.

Faceplate does not sit flush against the wall

Check that the electrical back box is deep enough and that there are no cables obstructing the rear of the socket. Ensure the mounting screws are tightened evenly.

Faceplate is loose

Remove the front decorative plate and ensure the inner structural fixing plate is securely screwed into the back box.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sleek screwless aesthetic
  • Supports both 230V and 115V devices
  • High-quality black brushed steel finish
  • Professional, minimalist appearance
  • Robust construction for bathroom use

Cons

  • Requires a deeper wall box than standard sockets
  • Fingerprints may show on the brushed steel surface
  • Professional installation recommended

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should always be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety compliance. This unit is specifically designed for flush mounting in a standard electrical wall box, but please note that due to the internal transformer, a minimum depth of 47mm is typically required for successful installation. Before installation, ensure the power is isolated at the mains. To maintain the finish of the black brushed steel, clean the faceplate only with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, polishes, or chemical solvents, as these can damage the brushed texture and protective coating of the metal.
