SocketWatts guide

Terms of use

SocketWatts is guidance, not electrical, legal or financial advice. Check product documentation and get appropriate professional help when a condition is unknown.


We publish this guidance for households in Great Britain. It is intentionally cautious because the decision depends on a complete product, its documentation, the mounting location and the electrical installation.

SocketWatts does not approve products or certify installations. If an answer is uncertain, pause and check it with the landlord, freeholder, manufacturer or a competent electrician as appropriate.
