| Round Pin Sockets are usually used on low level lighting circuits. If you wanted to switch table lamps or floor lamps from a regular light switch you would install the switch into the circuit containing these round pin sockets. The advantages are that you can control any number of table and floor lamps from a single switch rather than having to individually switch every one on/off. The other neat idea is that you can then install a dimmer switch to control the table lamp circuit as they do most commonly in hotels. The reason round pins are used is that it stops you from plugging a regular 13amp plug into the circuit and stops the risk of circuit overload. We recommend 25mm deep wall boxes for mounting our sockets or 35mm deep wall boxes for shallow or flat plate Sockets. |

Chose These
02 April 2021 by Nadeem, Walsall - Verified Customer
Looks at the two options with rocker switch or push switch and choose these as all look the same.
Covered A Hole

Ordered to cover an unused hole in the wall. Looks better than the empty hole!
Double Dimer
30 March 2021 by Bob, Chelmsford - Verified Customer
Happy to find they could do 2 dimmers on the large switch size rather than the smaller square type you usually get. Very helpful with dimmer sizes two for the bulbs we had.
Rose Gold
24 March 2021 by Stacey R, Leicester - Verified Customer
These sockets are more rose gold which is what we were looking for with a lovely brushed effect. Very happy
Should Have Changed A Long Time Ago

So much easier. Should have changed to having USB chargers in plug sockets a long time ago. Love the copper too.
