USB
Replaced my home sockets with these, saves having to having to buy usb charges and they are in every room, no more looking for a charger.
Love those, look very good!
Price vs value is very good. They are a good quality sockets. This was my second order and will get more for the rest of the rooms in the house. Love them.
Brilliant dimmer for LED to control a customised lower light setting
Had new LED downlight fitted throughout the house, but even when set to the lowest dimmer setting they were still bright in the evenings.
This dimmer has an adjustable level for the lowest point so I could adjust it until the light was at the right level then fit it back to the wall. It only customises the low point so when the dimmer is turned up full then the lights are at their normal level.
Great product and I would say a must for anyone with dimmable LED lights.
Great quality
Bought for my caravan – needed USB points, easy to install and look great.
Smart, practical, cost effective
Used this to cover up an old TV aerial socket. Did the trick and looks the part. Very happy!
superb light switch
Very good light switvh, well made and easy to install.
Easy to install
Easy to install, good value and looks nicer than the usual plain white sockets
Important: tighten both earth connections whether you use both or not!
Very nice sockets and attractive, they look beautiful against my white walls.(just tighten both earth screws securely whether you use both or not). This will illiminate the risk of the earth bar becoming dislodged in the future when a plug’s earth pin snags when pushing it in the socket.
Great Product, Great Price
This product was so much cheaper than the rest but also a very good product which im very happy with and would defo recommend.
Very good for the price
Easy to fit and looks great definitely worth the price

Lovely plugs
This is a lovely plug, well made and super easy to install.
the only thing i would note, is that ther USB ports means that they dont support fast charge like you get with mobiles and such.
but otherwise very good!

Quick and easy to fi
Quick & easy to fit. I replaced the white plastic unused phone socket with this blank plate and it looks a lot better. Took about 5 minutes to replace, comes with the 2 decorative screw fixings.

Beautiful socket that can replace 6
Its odd for a mains socket to be described as ‘beautiful’ but this really is. I’ve installed it in my caravan and with four usbs and two gangs it effectively serves 6 devices. And it really does look incredible! Its also very well made indeed and big thanks to BG for giving a template to use when cutting out the fitting hole.
Easy to fi
Great product – easy to fit terminals. They do seem a bit deeper than normal so if you have a shallow box behind your socket you may struggle. Mine was 35mm as just about worked.
Nice switch, a little large at the back
These switches have a large controller behind the plate which required the removal of the unused top/bottom screw tangs on the backbox. Work well when coupled with quality LED lamps.
Really good quality produc
Bought as replacement for old white plastic ones after we decorated the house. Really good quality and easy enough to fit. Looks so much better than the white plastic ones
Look ‘High End’ and expensive
These sockets really change a room. I’ve upgraded from the white plastic to the brushed steel effect. For around 5 a socket, it makes the kitchen look and feel modern. Very pleased with the switches and have plans to upgrade other sockets around the house. Build quality is excellent. Definitely recommend.

Lovely item at affordable price
We ordered these in brushed steel with grey for throughout the house. They arrived promptly and look really nice. The only issue is we are 2 single light switches short as there is an order limit in that item so we now need to find somewhere else to order them from as even after they arrive you cannot order more. This is very annoying as most people will have more than 10 light switches in their homes.
Excellent quality
We love these as they just look classy and colour suits darker rooms so much. Just be careful when you’re installing them as they’re easy to scratch with screwdriver and screws etc… Would highly recommend them though!

Great value for money, works, well, no buzzing
We had to rewire our house so I bought a selection of different light switches from this company. They are good value for money, look great and have all been working without a fault since beginning of June. Neither is making a buzzing noise – in fact we had a problem with a dimmable light fixture, but not the switch! (After exchanging the chandelier for a new one buzzing stopped).

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.

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 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.

It is very solid but smaller in size than expected
Overall these are very good quality switches. I ordered a lot for my new
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!
Great product!
So pleased with these sockets, I bought quite a few and they were easy to install and look fantastic! Thank you
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.
Good but may have difficulty fitting in some socket cases
It’s was difficult to fit as the screws that came with it were too short for the case it was being screwed into. Had to by buy a box. Once managed to fit it it works.
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.
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
Looks good and feels reassuringly solid
I bought this switch recently to replace an older one which had failed. That was unbranded and had been fitted to the house when I bought it, and I’d like to think that this one from an established brand will be better. It feels well-made and is nicely designed with the screws accessible on the back, and I like that they can be firmly tightened without fear of the metal shearing. The switch looks great too and apart from some greasy marks when I first installed it I’m impressed that the polished chrome finish has stayed clean ever since, without the problem of showing fingerprints on the shiny surface. I’d have no qualms in buying another of these switches – recommended.
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.
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.

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.
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 replacement dimmer - works well with LEDs
I replaced our 12V / 50W halogen lights with new 240V / 5W LEDs. The original dimmers caused buzzing and flicker, due to their minimum wattage level being above what is now being consumed. These dimmers have a great adjuster to allow you to optimize the dimming levels for your installation. I need to work through some of the other rooms and will use these dimmers for those too. Very impressed.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
