Double BS Socket + Type-C USB — Two Appliances + Modern Charging, One Panel
This double switched socket made of glass and equipped with USB-C is the most comprehensive power and charging solution in the DN71 series of double gang sockets. The double switched socket provides two 13A BS1363 power outlets with their own independent SP or DP switch and neon indicator, which is used to power kettles, toasters, television, and other devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Kuwait GCC double switched socket with USB-C?
The Kuwait GCC double switched socket has two independent 13A BS1363 power outlets and an integrated Type-C USB charging port in one compact 146mm wall plate. The DN71492C is specifically designed for the Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, GCC, and Malaysia markets which follow British standards. Each socket is fitted with its own SP or DP rocker switch with a neon light indicator, with the benefit of the USB-C port charging modern mobiles or tablets without occupying any power outlets.
Is this glass socket suitable for Saudi Arabia and GCC installations?
The DN71492C was specifically designed for countries including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain among others, where BS1363 British 3-pin sockets are the specified electrical standard. The glass panel option is a preferred design for high-end residential as well as hotel projects in the region. The panel measures 88mm × 146mm which is compatible with the standard British double-gang backbox that is popular in these regions.
Does the USB-C port work when both socket switches are off?
Indeed, the DN71492C’s USB Type-C port has been fully designed to function separately from the two switchable sockets. It is powered straight from the mains voltage and will keep charging devices regardless of the status of the 13 amp sockets. The neon indicators simply serve to signify the status of the sockets but will be of no help in determining whether there is power in the USB module.
What panel materials are available for this Malaysia GCC socket?
The DN71492C double switched socket can be purchased in three different choices for front panels, preferably in tempered glass (glossy, resistant to fingerprints, premium look appropriate for high-end projects in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia), brushed aluminum (industrial metallic look for commercial interiors) and PC (very robust and reasonably priced for larger housing projects in countries such as Malaysia and GCC region). Everyone has identical features, namely two 13A outlets, one Type-C USB port, two independent switches, and 12-year warranty.
