Looks good, USB sockets and easy to install
The black nickel is like a darker tinted chrome. I had no problems fitting this in a 25mm metal pattress box. It seems reasonable quality and hopefully it will stand the test of time.
Clean and Simple
Really nice little switchplate – standard fittings and well manufactured – everything did what it was supposed to do! The finished look is really nice, doesn’t feel or look cheap. Really happy.
Great product from bg nexus agai
These are my favourite metallic socket to fit they look amazing and have a plastic spacer between the metal front and the back that touches the wall so if you accidentally scrape it against the wall when trying to get the 3.5mm socket screws in it doesn’t gouge the wall out and cause repairs for the clie
Great look
Easy to fit look fabulous
Finishes off my kitchen perfectly
Half the price wickes are selling them for too
BARGAIN
I have now purchased the brushed brass selection for rest my rooms and highly recommend you buy from Amazo
Great value
I recently decorated and needed some reasonably priced sockets and switches. We ended up buying all of them as part of this range and they have been great. Had them a few months now and no complaints. They look stylish and are easy to fit when replacing old plastic ones. Very well priced for the effect they give in your rooms.

BG Electrical NBS81P-01 Single Dimmer Light Switch
Great product, for price and quality of the metal is good. Very easy to put on. Replacing dimmer that was 13 years old. There is a small buzzing sound when lights are on full; But nothing major to cause concern. Overall does the job! Thanks amazon warehouse for quality product .
Caution The Locator Holes Are Tigh
This looks great but I have had to mark it down one star for one very annoying aspect, if you have two sets of wires the holes are too small.
One of our plug sockets has two neutral, two earth and two live cables going into the locators on the back. It proved impossible to use this replacement socket as the holes for the cable to go into are too small in diameter.

Solid Construction British Standard Rated nbs22u3g Double Switched Wall Socke
Awesome British Standard Rated Double mains socket with 2 x USB fast Charging ports.
Each mains socket comes with its own Switch, though the switches don’t control the USB ports and this is normal anyway.
Really happy with this purchase and once the pandemic stops sapping my funds, I’m hoping to buy Two their BG Electrical NBN81P-01 Single Dimmer Light Switch, Black Nickel, 2-Way, 400 Watts (B00H2EOEBS), one of my bedroom and the other for the Livingroom, as the led lights flicker with the old standard dimmer switches.
If you are looking for a Double Switched Socket mains socket with Fast USB charging ports, then I Highly Recommend this purchase.
Thank you for an awesome product!
Amazing!
Perfect and looks so stylish!
Can’t beat the price and the look, BNQ cheapest started from around 7 so this one is definitely a bargain, especially with next day prime.
Have bought 2 more for our renovations and will be buying more. Prices for other colours differ.
Will update review with pictures. Fantastic price and product!

Great value and quality
Great product for a kitchen re vamp replace old white plastic switches. Did come up a couple mm smaller than my previous ones so there was a minor element of making good to the walls. Very easy to install. Always take a photo of the old socket and how it wired if in doubt.
Sma
These are just as easy to fit as an ordinary socket but thanks to the USB ports practically double the amount of electrical items you can power from it.
These look smarter than the standard white sockets and whilst they are a little more expensive than the white plastic version they do look better, giving our room a more polished, luxury look.
Great produc
Very handy if you are fed up of swapping your plugs out for phone chargers etc.
Easy to connect – I did have to watch a YouTube video but this is only because I had never touched electrics before.
I’ve now got two or these set up in my house and they’re just ideal for charging your devices without the need of keep unplugging different plugs all the time.
Grea
Easy to fit and look great. I usually have white but thought these would look good for a change. They do & I’m really pleased.
Looks so nice and not difficult to install at all.
Opening any YouTube video will tell you how easy it is to install. Just ensure electrical supply is off. But looks great and really opened up more options for charging devices
Brushed steel sockets.
Very pleased with these sockets, sturdy and very attractive. Waiting for electrician to swap old ones for these better quality ones.
Lovely
I have had more than one of these they look very nice ,and are easy to install .
I did have one with a fault which resulted in none of my electrical sockets working for several months untill it was discovered therr was a fault with one of these sockets. so if you do have these installed in your property and you have an electrical problem get these checked first
In general these are very good value easy to install and look good

Quality produc
I have a weatherproof external socket
(Not from BG electrical) which had a normal plastic face plate. For some reason this cracked and showed signs of overheating. I contacted BG and asked them which of their products they would recommend to fix the situation and this was it. The face plate is metal and so won’t crack but more importantly will disperse the heat. It was very easy to fit. The service and quality from the manufacturer (BG) is excellent. Worth paying a bit more for a safe well made product, which this is.
Peace of mind.
Happy to recommend this product.
Beautiful finish and look grea
Great quality, beautiful finish and look perfect in my newly renovated bedroom and guest room. The switches were easy to install and look great against my new neutrals and white theme.
Dimmer switch
Nice looking switch in brushed steel and great price from Amazon. Just tried it with my new LED bathroom lights and it works great. No problem with flickering when lights are dimmed to their lowest setting. Very pleased.
Light switch
This is the switch I ordered I have it all over my house it look so lovely when fitted I would recommend this to anyone it’s worth the money
Looks great, excellent value and works as expected.
This wall socket is exactly what I was looking for. It came much faster than I was initially expecting and is as described. There are two USB ports which are super handy for charging small devices like phones but are not suitable for more energy dependent devices like laptops. Installing the socket was not too difficult and I would recommend using google and YouTube to help if it’s your first time. Remember to turn your power off at the mains for your own safety or if your not confident enough then get a professional Electrican. The socket looks really good with the dark nickel effect and there is a on off power switch on the socket. I’m very pleased with this product and would recommend it especially at this value.
The gentle touch
Good value for money at the price I got them for. Nice finish with a gentle curve from top to bottom. Surprisingly quiet in operatio
Great Looking Double Socket!
Bought 3 of these 9 months ago when completely redecorating the old living room and i was very impressed with the nice neat finish it gave to the living room. I also bought the light switch to match and it really does give the room that extra neat touch. I’m quite lucky to have an Electrician as my neighbour and he installed them all within 30 minutes with ease so cant complain. The delivery and packaging was great aswell so five stars from me :).
I know what it’s like to feel unsure when buying or comparing products, so If you found my review helpful please mark it as such, as I really enjoy knowing my reviews helped other people make an informed decision. Thanks

Easy to install
Easy to install, no problems fitting took me 5 minutes only downside when plugs are inserted the on off switches just about clear the plugs bear that in mind if you plan to use power adapters.The usb ports work effectively in charging iphones and tablets.
Good produc
Although this socket fits a standard metal flush box the internal size is slightly bigger than the standard socket it replaced. The ceramic tiles in my kitchen were cut slightly over the aperture of the socket box which meant I had to shave the tile to allow the new socket to fit. Not an easy task when the tile is fixed to the wall. However this was my problem as I originally installed the tiles. So just a note to people who might have the same problem. Otherwise the socket looks good and is very handy to be able to use the power socket while being able to use the usb charger sockets.

Good quality
Unfortunately it was faulty with one of the switches not clicking. Didn’t have time to return as the electrician was here so just ordered another which was perfect.
The quality is very good
I also bought the plug sockets which again are excellent quality
Cute and shiny
Great quality at a great price, I was very impressed with with double light switch, it looks nice and also feels great. Very easy to install with clear instructions. Delivery was on time and very good value for the money, very cheap comparing to other big stores.
Super produc
Delivered in a well packed and protected Jiffy bag. VERY secure. Excellent service. Product as described.
Fitter never complained so must have been easy to to follow instructions easy to install. Excellent value for money.
Excellent value for money
Arrived on time its quite well constructed considering budget price, it works as expected and better than this it comes with a 25 year Guarantee, what more can you ask from a light switch. I will be buying more in the future.
It looks great, so it’s a little more expensive than the ordinary ones.I had a little trouble installing it, it had 5 ports, my old one had 4 ports.If you have the same problem, just connect the same color lines to the same type of interface.I’m happy with it. So far, so good.
Don't take a Dim view...!!!
Very nice finish… my previous
Dimmer just had one L live and one common this one had L1 L2 and common…
As one person commented bulbs are overrated by manufacturers I am running 6 LED bulbs off this dimmer easy to install and to me good value for money…
Will review again after 12moths plus.
Easy to install great produc
Good sold product, easy to install and comes with good clear instructions, I simply replaced an excising plug with this one to allow for the two extra charging ports.
Screws too sho
Nice light switch and feels like good quality. Only problem is the screws supplied are far too short. Will need to see if I can get brushed steel screws some where. I also bought sockets and the length of screws on them were fine.
Great product!
I replaced my existing normal socket with this usb one!
I’m no electrician and I managed to install this with no issues at all! Ensure that the product will fit your existing socket if your replacing it as I find the back to be slightly more deeper.
Charges my devices quickly and removes the need for having charging plugs everywhere!
Looks smart and I highly recommend this to anyone!
Be careful, check your wiring before ordering.
The good: the socket looks amazing and very expensive. Deliver was quick and on time.
Sadly I couldn’t install it where I wanted to put it because the wiring behind the socket would not reach. The L and N placements on it were the opposite side to my current plug socket. This is obviously my fault and not the products. I ended up putting my old socket back on and gave this away to a friend who says it works perfectly.

Electrical socket switch with USB
Good price for a socket with two USB charging ports. Easy to install and very practical.
Still Happy Nonetheless
I like the product a lot.
It has revived, amongst other sockets and switches of the same range, an old kitchen and made it look more up to date.
It has a nice smooth off on click, which my old white one didn’t. It was clunky in comparison.
There are two downsides. One is the print on the plate I.e. the ‘ON’ print has faded after only a few weeks use. The second is the brushing of the steel appears to run in the opposite direction of the other sockets and switches. The photo demonstrates this.
Had theses not happened it would have been a 5 star rating.

Good Looking but watch out for the depth
Matches other BG brushed steel sockets and light switches already fitted. This was to replace the mess the Sky engineer left me. The big problem is that the connector protrudes some 30mm meaning that I had to dig out for a 35mm pattress box. This was a complete pain with solid stone walls. The level of detail that BG provide in the products is not sufficient. They do have what they call a Euro plate product with a LAN socket which is 20mm and this is what I should have purchased.

BG electrical outlets - great quality.
As all of the BG range – these are excellent faceplates. No problems and look great.
Good product let down by screw being missing
Product ok but spot the difference . Yep on only has one screw in the packaging . Marked down on easy to install due to having only one screw in one of the switches which ment had to use different screw.
Brilliant quality switch
Bought to replace a faulty switch that worked but didn’t have the full brightness range it should have had. This was a straight swap and works perfectly. I like the push on/off combined with the ability to dim separately. Some switches don’t have the push on/off so you have to dim all the way down and then it switches off. This style is much more user friendly.
Fitting was very easy, all cables going into it are the same colour, you just need to find the common wire which is usually more than one wire combined and then the other wire is the L1. You can either wire the earth straight to this or on to the back plate if it’s metal which most should be.
Happy so fa
Have had no problems with this so far. There is a tiny load adjustment button on the inside connections that you can turn to suit the light levels on your dimmable led bulbs. It cured the flicker we had with our previous switch and we can now dim the lights as low as we like without the sudden drop off. Am going to buy another to see if it cures the led flickering problem we developed in another room after replacing halogen with led bulbs. At this price it’s worth a try.
Very neat network cable socke
This is a very neat socket, and we love the look of the brushed steel – matches with the other sockets and switches we have in the same room too. I would also recommend buying and using a punch down tool for connecting the wires at the back of the socket – if you don’t have one, then buy one – you won’t regret it – so much easier than trying to make do with other tools!
Nice looking sockets, but...
Buyer beware, good looking socket but unless you only have two sets of wires into your normal metal back patress you will struggle to fit this quite wide sockets in, I failed on a loop socket 3&4 wire, ok on single and two.
Price
Good price. Delivered on time securely packaged.
Photo accurate. Screws in cable connectors had problems holding wires securely at first. Did take some extra adjustment for a flush wall fit. So experience and tweaking of socket replacement a benefit. Or just buy a multi-meter (which you should have anyway and be using) and some decorators caulk

I’ve been redoing a whole room in my house, so I bought a matching set of the brushed steel switches and plugs to install. I must say they are great value for money and certainly look more expensive than they are. I installed this switch into a 6ax socket with no problems at all.
In terms of the feel — these switches are far superior than the generic white plastic switches that you probably already have in your home. One upside is that there are no sharp edges around the switch and on the switch itself. It’s a small detail, but makes a pretty big difference to the feel every time you use the switch. In addition, the brushed steel is not sticky, and can be wiped down with ease to keep its sheen. The switch also seems to have a nice reassuring click too. It feels well built, so I hope it lasts for years to come.
Something else worth noticing is that it’s not very loud. Being used to the generic white plastic light switches, it was really nice moving to this style as there is no high-pitched clicking sound which is useful at night when trying to stay quiet.
Cons:
There is only a couple of small cons I can think about, one of them being the screws included. I would recommend using a high-quality screwdriver to install the switched because it seems that they might be easy screws to strip (but once they are in, they look great being the same colour as the switch panel). Another thing that could be considered a con depending on your preference is that the switch has a bit of resistance to it meaning it’s not extremely smooth to switch. Maybe this will get easier as time passes, but it’s no big issue really.
Overall, this is a great looking and feeling switch, especially for the cheap price. I would highly recommend them. Hopefully this review helps.

Classy
This was a lovely socket, unfortunately I had to return as it didn’t fit on our existing socket space.
Good Solid Build
Great guarantee. Previously bought 2 plastic-faced models, both of which failed miserably. (I won’t mention the make). This is chrome-faced, and feels much more substantial. Only time will tell, but I feel much more confident in the build quality.
Does all that it should do
A nicely made switch capable of carrying the load I needed for an electric shower. Easy to follow instructions, seems to be good quality all round – and cheaper than the equivalent available from DIY stores.
Great delivery
I can’t fault this product at all, it simply wasn’t the right product to cover my BT phone line box
the product looks great, was great delivery and prompt service etc I’ve given 5 stars because I feel it wrong to blame the product when I just ordered the wrong thing
Add USB ports to a single socke
Installation was easy. Connections were colour coded and marked.
I had an old shaver socket which was not used very much.
Now I have a twin USB and a single switched socket, which can be used for various purposes, including a shaver adapter.
Quality range of electrical sockets and switches
Easy to fit, high quality switches. The back has a transparent (invisible when fitted) plastic back surround which prevents wall damage while giving a flush fit. The satin steel faceplate is lacquered to resist fingerprints. Very easy to fit with colour-coded terminals. And a reassuring ‘clunk’ when the switch is used.
Brilliant Purchase
I am very happy with my purchase, I have a Bellway house and I have Extractor Fan Isolator switches above each internal door for all bathrooms, downstairs toilet and utility. Bellway installed the cheap plastic ones that look ugly. I bought these to replace and the way they are wired are exactly the same. Very easy to switch and look the part. Two top tips, always use the original screws, they are longer and less likely to cross thread, always have some emulsion to hand and after the white plastic one comes off you can repaint before replacing.
Tools needed.
Camera Phone – always take a photo of the original layout so you can revert if you make a mistake.
Paint – in the original wall colour and brush.
One small flat head screwdriver.
One medium flat head screwdriver.
Always screw each side a bit at a time, when screwing in the new ones.
Don’t forget to turn the lighting circuits off
Kitchen bling!
My main purpose in wanting to switch my current sockets is that the standard white looked awful and boring alongside my current kitchen. The brushed steel looks amazing and even better fitted on the wall. They really stand out and give the kitchen a little wow factor. Great quality and good value for money. Would recommend.
Good quality and arrived quickly
Good quality switches. arrived very quickly. As a couple of the other reviews state the amount of equipment in the back to accommodate the USB ports makes it very tight and quite fiddly to fit. but if you take your time you can get there. Fittings look very solid and it feels substantial. All items are clearly marked. If you really are an amateur then you may want to get a more experienced DIYer to help, but overall a good things and no real problems for the sensibly headed.
Good quality
Good quality socket, was easy enough to install if you are comfortable around wiring. Took me bout 15mins to install 2 of these. Working well and now I dont need to occupy the socket for my phone charge
Good Value For Money
This double switched power socket is excellent value for money. It is well made, is of standard size and is very easy to fit as a replacement. Ensure the mains power is switched off, undo the 2 screws holding the socket to backplate, ease the socket forward and disconnect the live, neutral and earth wires. Reconnecting the wires to the new socket is straight forward. Replace socket into backplate and lock with the 2 screws. Turn on the power and all done!

Modern and Stylish
I ordered couple of those , arrived quickly since I am Amazon prime member and well packed.
I changed the old white socket plates myself but if you are not comfortable then going for an electrician is certainly recommended for safe installation.
So far so happy and will be looking to change the sockets all over the house soon.
Good piece of equipment. Looks good. I always think these things are too expensive but these are comparable with other units in other electrical shops/diy places. They look good but like others have said, they stick out just a little bit more than traditional sockets so near this in mind. Plugs and usb chargers work as expected.
Well made and competitively priced.
Note: The original purchase had to be replaced following a fault. The review below is for the replacement switch.
I bought this following a kitchen refit, and it looks great. The switch appears to be well made – not at all cheap in look or feel, and still months later is working as it should.
Bought an old house - having to replace them monthly it feels like!
Bought a house a year ago with brushed steel light switches from another brand. Slowly it feels like I’m buying these every single month from BG! They are easy to install and look smart. The buttons work well and so far I’m happy with their durability. We’ll see how the kids treat them though!
Excellent product and selle
Like for like refit with existing sockets and much cheaper than the place that Fixes Screws. Bought multiple as was changing the kitchen ones over. Slight problem with the LED in one of the switches (was duller than the others).
Emailed the company and they posted me a replacement out the very next day. Excellent company to deal with and will purchase again.
Perfect and easy to install.
Update: Just bought a second one of these are they are great quality.
Bought to replace a dimmer switch as we were installing an Alexa enabled bulb and these don’t play nicely with dimmer switches. Really easy to install even when all the wires were the same colour!
3 reds where 2 went in to one part and 1 went into another part of the dimmer, so I took them out of the old switch and put them into the new switch in exactly the same configuration (2 into COM and 1 into L1) and it worked fine. Always make sure to isolate the electricity at your junction box.
Any DIY person can google their way through fitting a light switch especially one that only controls one light :).
The switch itself looks excellent and feels great quality and I think it will last forever given we now will not actually use it 😉
Must buy stylish!
These are a great edition to the home and are of a great quality fit and finish. No issues installing them and no issues using them. Can’t fault these switches and will buy more for the rest of our house.
Practical & Stylish
I have only recently started doing electrical DIY and it’s the second time I’ve replaced plug sockets by myself. I bought two of these for a room I’ve just redecorated.
They look really nice. I like how the inserts around the plugs and USB sockets are a brighter matt grey colour. It makes finding the socket much easier in low light conditions. The only problem I found is if you have an ‘inverted’ plug (one where the cable comes out at the top instead of the bottom), it might partially block the on/off switch. I would say this is more a fault with companies that produce ‘inverted’ plugs but it is an oversight on BG’s part too.
Installation was simple enough. The live and neutral are on the left, and earth is on the right – Earth also has two points it can screw into, which is pretty neat as the cables usually have little pull on them.
Unfortuneatly I wasn’t able to install the second socket. The live, neutral and earth cables at this outlet were in groups of three. Everytime I got the cables into their respective slot and tightened the screw, I found at least one of each cable would pop back out. When I re-installed the original plate, the cables went in with no bother, but I’m going to chalk this down to me being an amateur with little experience.

Unfortuneatly I wasn’t able to install the second socket. The live, neutral and earth cables at this outlet were in groups of three. Everytime I got the cables into their respective slot and tightened the screw, I found at least one of each cable would pop back out. When I re-installed the original plate, the cables went in with no bother, but I’m going to chalk this down to me being an amateur with little experience.
God quality but on/off buttons are a little close to the plugs
Really good quality, overall very pleased, the one issue I have is the on/off buttons are pretty close to the plugs, for 99% of plugs this isn’t a problem, but larger plugs such as those which are transformers can make it difficult to get to get to the on/off switch
Really solid switch, looks grea
Really pleased, the switch operates with a nice solid click and looks great, not too bad with finger prints eithe
Good purchase
Can’t go wrong. Bought it from amazon due to covid but slightly cheaper in some stores. Either way it is a good product and works fine
Superb quality
These units transform the quality of a newly decorated room , I’ve also bought there plug sockets and light switches .. high quality and easy to fi
Tis a switch
They light up my world, it’s a light switch has two modes:
Mode 1: activation of the emission of light of the viable spectrum.
Mode 2: Off.
Troubleshooting:
If you can see stuff chances are you are in mode 1, if you can’t see stuff them probably mode 2, or you ain’t paid the leccy bill!
Sleek Modern Design and Finish
I previously bought three of these Double Sockets, five Fused Isolating Switches, one Fused Cooker Switch and one Light Switch. Unfortunately, I missed one double socket so I had no hesitation in buying another to finish the my new kitchen. They look brilliant and compliment my new double oven, gas hob and everything down to the handles on the kitchen units.
We are redoing the kitchen, the new build standard issue white plastic switches are out and brushed steel metal switches are being put in.
I picked this up because i have come across BG products before, in Screwfix and Tool Station, the price is comparable without the hassle of going to click and collect.
* The switch comes in an easy to open plastic package, i did think upon seeing it it was one of those packs that needs two breadknives, some pliers and a lot of expletives to open but its not, it just pops open.
* Instructions are included depending on your current wiring set up, this was useful as i am not an electrician and it wasnt clear upon unscrewing the old switch.
* Super quick to swap out, less than ten minutes. Connectors are all well made and easy to wire into, the unit is well made, the switch action is super smooth and requires a tiny bit of reassuring pressure that is indicative i would think of it being long lasting.
* The finish is top notch, looks good on the wall. We havent repainted yet so there is an edge of old paint on the pictures but that will be sanded off, i was just old to get them on the walls sharpish, no point in decorating in order is there….
Overall highly recommended.
Five Stars.

Nice touch
Changing the sockets from white to silver and not regretting it in the slightest. Nothing to add other than this works a treat. Ensure you get a qualified electrician if you are unsure what to do.
Every easy to Install
Very easy to install took less than half an hour to put two sockets in. I’m very pleased with the look and the fact that I have freed up two plugs because the cctv can be run from the usb socket as can a wireless charger that I have in the kitchen. The sockets are even colour-coded to help with wiring them up which helped immensely.
Does what it’s supposed to!
Fitted to replace a broken switch that must have been 15 years old. Only thing not great is that it’s slightly smaller than the old switch, so we are going to have to redecorate. Seems to work well though, and no issues with it a month after fitting.
Matched everything else I bought looks nice
I hate COAX. Perhaps its me but its fiddly. Its easier to fit a normal power socket.
That aside it matched the other brush steel items and finished of the kitchen nicely. But if someone can come up with a better system for attaching coax cable I’m sold.
good product & price first one came faulty
Good price terminals could be in a better position as white one i took off was so easy to install before, first one came faulty as did a electric twin socket as i purchased 4 of these but one faulty, so be aware when buying a few you will get the odd duds , prob down to price & manufacturer other than that nice & sturdy & look the part so happy.
Great product, easy install and works well!
Well built and very easy to install (even for a DIY novice like myself). Sturdy and the USB ports make it very handy when you have 4 people in the house with phones and tablets.
I’ve installed a few of these in our home now.
They certainly look good
I don’t have a clue about electrics, but managed to install these with a little help from the web.
I have found they don’t always fit into the whole in the wall but i think this is more down to the old house having not great bays installed in the wall leaving very little space to play with.
They seem expensive for what they are. This isn’t new tech and should really be cheap as chips to manufacture by now. but at this point in time I’m more concerned about the wife no longer nagging now we have these installed

Just what I was looking for...
I fitted this myself and I am pretty much a novice when it comes to electrics. Only but that threw me off was the extra earth connection. But made sense in the end and working fine. It is also looks great and very modern.
Did not fit due to USB casing at rear of socke
I would loved to have given these 5 stars however they did not fit my internal box and the part that has the USB fittings is raised and therefore would not slot into place so I had to return them i am gutted as they are a fantastic product look really smart and transform a room and ideal for turning a double socket into having the capacity to use 4 items at once and remove the need for extension leads they are nice and sturdy and have a long guarentee

Nice but read the review
Nice socket, easy to fit. Prices are erratic, I’ve bought them as low as 12.50 and as high at 16.99 so keep a look out. The only slight issue is they won’t fast /super charge my huawai phone from the USB, only normal speed, I have to use a dedicated charger for fast charging.
