The 5A rating supports loads up to 1,150W on 230V mains, making it suitable for lighting control where standard 13A sockets would be over-specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential and hospitality lighting installations where table lamps, uplighters or decorative fittings need a dedicated circuit independent from general power outlets, the socket fits a 25mm minimum back box depth. The screwless cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame, leaving no visible fixings on the wall once installed. The unswitched design means the socket is always live when the circuit breaker is on, allowing control to be managed by a separate wall switch or dimmer elsewhere on the circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe premium-grade steel construction carries a 25-year warranty. The brushed chrome finish provides a cooler, contemporary metallic tone compared to brass variants, pairing well with modern and minimalist interiors. The white insert behind the faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and gives a clean edge to the round pin aperture. The built-in gasket provides IP20 rating and a dust seal around the faceplate edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.

It's typically used for dedicated lighting circuits, table lamps and low-draw decorative fittings where a full 13A outlet would be over-specified. The round pin design also prevents standard UK plugs from being inserted, keeping the circuit dedicated to its intended purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this socket switched or unswitched?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnswitched.
