Product Information

Full details

The Soho Lighting Camden Collection Matt Black 13A 2 Gang Switched Socket is an ideal choice for homeowners and interior designers seeking a sleek, contemporary aesthetic without compromising on safety. Its standout benefit is the screwless, low-profile design that offers a clean, minimalist finish suitable for modern and industrial interiors. However, users should note that as a screwless unit, it requires careful installation to ensure the faceplate clips perfectly over the mounting chassis.

FAQs

Is this socket double-pole?

Yes, this unit features double-pole switching, which isolates both the live and neutral connections for increased safety.

Can I install this in a standard back box?

Yes, it is designed to fit standard UK double-gang back boxes, though you should ensure the box has sufficient depth for the wiring.

Does the faceplate show fingerprints?

The matt black finish is designed to be fingerprint-resistant, keeping it looking cleaner for longer in busy environments.

Are the mounting screws visible?

No, the Camden Collection features a screwless design where the front plate clips over the internal mounting chassis for a clean, flat appearance.

Can I use this in a bathroom?

No, this is a standard 13A socket and is not IP-rated for use in bathroom zones or areas exposed to water.

Troubleshooting

Faceplate does not sit flush against the wall

Ensure the internal mounting chassis is not skewed and that wiring is pushed neatly into the back box to avoid obstruction.

Socket feels loose or moves when a plug is inserted

Tighten the screws securing the internal mounting chassis to the back box.

Difficulty snapping the front plate on

Check that no wires are caught between the chassis and the faceplate and ensure the orientation is correct.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Sophisticated screwless design for a flush wall appearance
Enhanced safety with double-pole switching mechanism
Fingerprint-resistant surface finish

Requires professional or careful DIY installation for the screwless plate

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a standard UK double-gang back box. Ensure the wall is level for the best aesthetic fit of the screwless plate. Always isolate the mains power at the consumer unit before beginning installation. If you are not familiar with electrical wiring, consult a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with BS7671 standards. To maintain the finish, simply wipe the faceplate with a clean, dry, or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid the use of harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads, as these may damage the matt black coating.
