BG Electrical 13 Amp Double Switched Socket with Two USB Ports

I've put two of these in my daughter's room, two in the main bedroom, and the spare room, plus we have them in the kitchen. It's surprising how much random stuff we have to charge, but those things didn't come with their own plug! Just like a lot of tech nowadays, we can charge all of the motion sensor stair lights, shavers (mine and my wife's), torches, etc., all without needing a plug. They only charge at 5W, but for small things, it's perfectly acceptable. You do not need to be an electrician to install these; you just need common sense. But of course, get a professional to do it if your brain is not DIY-friendly. I found them very easy to install, just like a regular outlet. The switches have a fairly premium feel to them and are really nice quality. So far, after having them installed for about 10 months now, we have not had any issues. Good value for money..

Happy with this double switched socket. It’s well made, feels sturdy, and once installed it just quietly gets on with life — exactly what a wall socket should do. Switches are firm and positive, terminals are solid, and it sits flush on the wall. Looks clean and smart without trying to be fancy. Two small niggles: the wiring space is a bit tight if you’ve got thick cables, and the screws need lining up properly if you care about them being perfectly straight (which, let’s be honest, some of us do). Neither affects how it works. Overall, reliable, decent quality, and does not electrocute you — always a win. I’d buy it again.

I'm a qualified electrician so please always use a qualified electrician to replace electrical items. This was very simple to swap out with good terminals at the back. These fit easily in a 25mm back box. I have the metal back box so I can't comment on the plastic plasterboard type boxes. The socket swiches feel sturdy at the moment so we will see if they last. As for the USB sockets they are in a reasonable place as some clash with plugs when in other places. This is NOT a FAST CHARGE unit. It is higher current output but not variable voltage or 5A output required for some devices to activate the fast charge in your device. Just be aware if you routinely have your electrics tested by an electrician as you should these will cause the test to fail as they leak a very small amount of current into the earth wire. A good electrician should ask as they have to bypass the socket earthing. But you should make them aware.

I am a convert to this make due to the input wire section being clear, well made and easy to use. The bestvthing is the smart smooth design. The finish screw caps fit perfectly. I have these all in my kitchen andvwill change the whole house - bit by bit.

It good

Now that the price for half decent USB Power Delivery capable plates have come down to a reasonable price, this is a effective way to add 15w USB sockets to your wall without occupying a slot with a USB Adapter. This is particularly effective and removing some of the clutter of old chargers for many devices we use today. It'll get your phone charged in a pretty quick time, without putting excessive strain on it from higher levels of fast charging. It's installation is almost fool proof, as it comes with clear instructions and a set of colour coded and imprinted tags inside, making it a breeze to wire up and get going in less than 10 minutes. Be wary of the minimum depth required for the box, but 25mm depth is enough to fit in. If you want to rid yourself of some old USB chargers that plague your plugs, or just have easily accessible higher power USB plugs, this is the best entry-level plates you can grab for a solid price. There's higher power ones and different styles out there, even from this brand. So grab what fits your needs!

Worked really well so far after a month. Was easy enough to install.

Good quality product at competitive price. Only issue fitting this is the live and neutral holes were a bit small for the four wires I had to insert in each.

Wer eine UK Steckdose benötigt, wird mit dieser zufrieden sein. Die Installation ist einfach: Die Klemmen sind eindeutig mit L, N und dem Erde-Symbol markiert. Kabel rein und die Schrauben (alles Messing) mit Gefühl angezogen. Anschließend die Steckdose in eine passende Unter-oder Aufputzdose (nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten) einsetzen und festschrauben.
