The outboard rocker switches sit proud of the main faceplate, making them easier to operate for users with limited dexterity or visual impairment, while the red neon indicators show at a glance which outlet is live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to meet Building Regulations Part M for accessible dwellings, the socket provides high visual contrast between the anthracite faceplate, white rocker switches and red neons, exceeding the recommended Light Reflectance Value (LRV) difference for visibility. The twin earth terminals allow secure connections in circuits requiring separate earths for each outlet, common in commercial and healthcare installations. The socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth with top-access captive terminals for faster installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thermoset resin construction includes independently tested anti-microbial properties certified to ISO 22196:2011, reducing bacterial surface contamination in high-touch environments such as care homes, hospitals, schools and offices. The curved edge profile softens the faceplate geometry without compromising the IP20 rating. The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when the socket is off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching for high-draw appliances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e146 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
