Product Information

Full details

This product is for homeowners and renters looking to integrate modern charging solutions into their existing wall sockets. Its key benefit is providing convenient, multi-device charging alongside traditional power outlets, reducing the need for separate adapters. A potential caveat is that shared USB power output may result in slower charging speeds when multiple devices are connected simultaneously. This sleek, screwless socket features two 13A switched sockets, one USB-A port with Quick Charge capabilities, and one USB-C Power Delivery port, all in a silk white finish.

FAQs

Can I charge my laptop with this socket?

The USB-C PD port is designed to support charging for compatible laptops and other high-power devices. Please check your laptop's power requirements against the specific PD output of the USB-C port for optimal performance.

What is the total power output for the USB ports?

When using a single USB port, the maximum output is 3100mA. When both USB-A and USB-C ports are in use simultaneously, the total power is divided between them.

Is professional installation required?

Yes, due to the electrical nature of replacing a standard socket, it is strongly recommended to have this product installed by a qualified electrician.

What is the difference between the USB-A and USB-C ports?

The USB-A port supports Quick Charge technology for faster charging of compatible phones and devices. The USB-C port supports Power Delivery (PD), offering higher power output suitable for a wider range of devices, including some laptops and tablets.

How do I clean the socket?

Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Can I use this socket outdoors?

This socket is designed for indoor use only and is not weather-rated.

What warranty is provided with this product?

Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation or retailer for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

USB port not charging device

Ensure the device is compatible with USB-A Quick Charge or USB-C PD. Verify that the total power draw does not exceed the socket's limit. Try using a different USB cable and ensure the socket is properly installed and powered.

Slow charging speed

If charging multiple devices simultaneously via USB, the power is divided. For faster charging, use only one USB port or disconnect other USB-connected devices. Ensure your device supports the specific charging technology (Quick Charge/PD) offered by the port.

13A sockets not providing power

Check that the appliance is plugged in correctly and switched on. Confirm that the switched socket is activated. If the issue persists, check your home's circuit breaker or fuse box.

Screwless faceplate appears loose

The screwless design relies on internal clips. Ensure the main unit is securely mounted to the wall box. If the faceplate itself is loose, re-seat it carefully, ensuring it snaps into place around the edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This product replaces a standard double electrical socket. Due to the electrical nature of this installation, it is recommended that this product is fitted by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with current wiring regulations.
