Product Information

Full details

The LAP Single 13A Switched Socket with USB is designed for homeowners and office managers seeking to modernize their charging infrastructure without the need for bulky adapters. This white moulded socket offers a sleek, slim-profile design that seamlessly integrates into existing decor while providing a convenient, all-in-one power solution. It is ideal for charging mobile devices and small laptops directly from the wall, though users should note that the 3A output is shared between the USB-A and USB-C ports, which may slow down charging speeds when both ports are occupied simultaneously.

FAQs

Can I charge my laptop using the USB port?

Yes, if your laptop supports USB-C charging via PD protocols and requires 18W or less, it will charge through the USB-C port.

Is this socket compatible with standard UK back boxes?

Yes, it is designed for installation in standard UK wall boxes.

What happens if I use both USB ports at once?

The total 3A output will be shared between the two ports, which may result in slower charging times for both connected devices.

Does this socket come in other colors?

This specific model is finished in white.

Do I need special cables for fast charging?

For optimal results, ensure you are using high-quality cables that support the PD or QC charging standards.

Can I install this myself?

Electrical installations should always be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and code compliance.

Troubleshooting

USB devices are not charging

Check that the wall switch is in the 'On' position and verify the cable is securely inserted into the port.

Slow charging speed

Unplug one device from the USB ports; the 3A power is shared, so single-port usage provides faster charging.

Socket feels loose or unstable

Ensure the mounting screws are tightened correctly to the back box, but do not overtighten as this may crack the plastic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This product is designed for standard UK electrical boxes. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with building regulations. Always isolate the power supply at the consumer unit before beginning installation. Once installed, the socket requires minimal maintenance. To keep the white moulded finish looking new, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can scratch the plastic casing and cause discoloration over time. Regularly inspect the socket for signs of loose wiring or physical damage.
