Extended Product Information

FAQs

Do I need a qualified electrician to install this socket?

Yes, this is a mains electrical device and must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with current wiring regulations for safety.

What is the total amperage/wattage rating for the USB ports?

The USB ports provide a total output of 5V at 2.1A, shared between the two ports. This means the maximum combined current for charging is 2.1 Amps.

Can I use this socket to charge my laptop?

The standard 13amp sockets are suitable for most laptop chargers. The USB ports are typically designed for smaller devices like smartphones and tablets, with a combined output of 2.1A, which may be insufficient for many laptops.

What does 'double pole switching' mean?

Double pole switching means that both the live and neutral wires are disconnected when the switch is turned off. This provides a safer and more complete isolation of the appliance compared to single pole switching.

Is the Ice White finish prone to yellowing?

The socket is made from quality fireproof ABS plastic designed to resist fading and yellowing, even in direct sunlight.

What is the warranty period for this product?

TrendiSwitch provides a five-year warranty for this product, offering peace of mind regarding its durability and performance.

How should I clean the screwless faceplate?

The faceplate can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or solvents to maintain the finish.

Troubleshooting

Socket or USB ports not working

Ensure the circuit breaker for the relevant circuit is switched on. Verify that the installation was completed correctly by a qualified electrician. Check for any visible damage.

USB devices charging slowly

The total USB output is 2.1A shared between two ports. Charging multiple devices simultaneously will divide this current, leading to slower individual charging speeds. Try charging only one device at a time for optimal speed or ensure connected devices do not draw more than 2.1A combined.

Faceplate appears loose

The screwless design should maintain a secure fit. If it seems loose, contact your installer or a qualified electrician to ensure it is correctly seated. Do not attempt to force or overtighten.

Ice White finish looks dull or dirty

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can scratch the surface. Ensure it is completely dry before use.
