13A 2 Gang DP Switched Socket With Night Light - Antique Brass Screwless

The Knightsbridge 13A 2-gang DP switched socket integrates an automatic night light controlled by a non-adjustable photocell sensor. The night light activates when ambient light falls below 15 lux and switches off when light exceeds 40 lux, removing the need for standalone plug-in night lights. The antique brass screwless faceplate conceals the fixing mechanism behind a cover plate that clips onto a separate metal sub-frame.

Designed for landings, children's bedrooms, hallways and hotel corridors where low-level orientation lighting is needed overnight, the socket combines 13A power outlets with soft ambient light from an integrated 0.8W LED at 4000K. The dual-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when the socket is switched off, providing additional safety over single-pole designs. The photocell sensor sits discreetly within the faceplate and operates automatically without manual control.

The antique brass finish develops a warm patina over time and pairs well with traditional, period and warm-toned contemporary interiors. The 201 stainless steel construction resists tarnishing better than plated alternatives. Each socket outlet is rated at 13A, handling standard UK appliances up to 3,120W per outlet. The twin earth terminals provide redundant safety earthing for high-draw appliances. The socket fits standard UK back boxes with a minimum depth of 25-35mm depending on cable routing.

Product Specification Sheet

How does the night light activate?

The integrated photocell sensor activates the night light automatically when ambient light falls below 15 lux and switches it off when light exceeds 40 lux. There is no manual override or adjustment. The LED emits 55 lumens at 4000K, providing enough orientation light for hallways and landings without being intrusive in bedrooms.

What back box depth is required?

A minimum back box depth of 25-35mm is required depending on cable routing and the number of cables terminating at the socket. The screwless cover plate adds 4.7mm of projection from the wall once fitted.

Is the night light separately switchable?

No. The night light operates independently of the socket switches and cannot be manually turned on or off. It responds only to the photocell sensor, activating automatically at dusk and deactivating at dawn.

What other finishes are available in this range?

Knightsbridge produces the night light socket in polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass, matt black and white. Use the search function or filters to find other finishes in stock at Niori.
