2 Gang USB Wall Socket for Modern UK Spaces
Upgrade a standard power point with a practical 2 gang 13A wall socket with dual USB ports. It combines two UK plug outlets with two built-in USB charging connections, helping reduce the need for separate USB wall adapters.
The integrated USB ports are convenient for charging compatible smartphones, tablets, power banks, and other 5V USB-powered devices while leaving the main sockets available for household appliances and electronics.
A slim flat-plate design gives the socket a clean, modern appearance that works well in bedrooms, kitchens, home offices, living areas, and workspaces. Available in black or white, it can be matched with different interior finishes.
For everyday convenience, each mains outlet includes an on/off switch, while the built-in power indicator makes operating status easier to identify.

Installing and Using the 13A USB Wall Socket
This wall socket is designed as a fixed electrical fitting rather than a plug-in adapter. Installation should be completed in a compatible UK wall box with sufficient space for the socket body and internal USB components.
For safe installation, mains power should be isolated before any electrical work begins. Fixed wiring should be completed by a suitably qualified person in accordance with applicable electrical requirements.
Once installed, the two main outlets can be used with compatible UK plugs. Use the individual switches to control connected mains equipment.
USB charging devices can be connected directly to either built-in USB port using a compatible cable. The USB system is rated at up to 5V / 2.1A, making it suitable for standard USB-powered electronics that operate within those requirements.
Ideal locations include:
-
Bedrooms and bedside charging areas
-
Home offices and computer desks
-
Kitchens and utility spaces
-
Living rooms and entertainment areas
-
Study rooms and student accommodation
-
Workspaces and small offices
-
Guest rooms

Charging stations for everyday electronics
Before connecting any device, confirm that its voltage, current, and power requirements are compatible with the socket specifications.
Why This 2 Gang USB Wall Socket Fits Everyday Needs
A double wall socket with USB ports offers a simple way to make frequently used charging areas more practical without adding extension leads or multiple USB adapters.
The two mains outlets remain available for standard appliances while the dedicated USB connections handle compatible mobile devices. This makes the socket particularly useful beside beds, desks, kitchen counters, and other locations where mains power and device charging are regularly needed together.
Its flat faceplate gives the fitting a cleaner appearance than bulky plug-in charging solutions, while black and white colour choices make it easier to coordinate with different interiors.
Durable PC construction, reinforced internal components, switched outlets, and an indicator light add practical functionality for regular household or office use.
For buyers looking to combine conventional UK power outlets and convenient USB charging in one compact wall fitting, this 2 gang socket offers a useful balance of design, simplicity, and everyday functionality.
