## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the switches suppose to light up when in the on position? Have mine fitted but nothing, just wondering if they are faulty.**
A: No lights. Only a red bar on switch to show it is on.

**Q: Can I replace a single socket plug with this double socket plug?**
A: if you are asking about the BG Electrical White Moulded Converter Double Power Socket, Rounded Plate, 13 Amp the answer is yes that is what they are made for. you cant fit a standard double socket without fitting a double back box

**Q: what are the measurements please**
A: Size - 14+ 8.5 mm.

**Q: Is this socket double pole or single pole?**
A: They are single pole as are almost all UK plug sockets. Double pole sockets are rare, expensive, deeper than regular sockets and generally aren't required - if you need double pole switching, you won't be plugging in the device - it should be permanently wired in.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good 👍
*by P***A on 30 September 2023*

Socket is alright works 💯 3lvl sounds not too loud but enough. Switched with previous one perfectly fitted same holes. Bell button was bend just a bit but I've used sandpaper to get one flat lvl and used double tape which is much better idea than drilling new holes in bricks 🧱. Nice smooth finish looks fancy. If you get this for less than tenner like me that's ok but not worth above that price. Thanks 👍
