Tronic Metal 13A Switched Socket Outlet

Our review

This is a single 13A socket outlet from Tronic with a built-in switch, so you can cut power at the wall rather than relying only on the appliance's own controls. The metal construction is the main point of difference from the plastic sockets that dominate this category, and the metallic finish is meant to look clean rather than purely functional. It suits anyone wiring a home, office or commercial space who wants a solid-feeling outlet with local switching, particularly where a socket gets heavy use or sits somewhere visible. Before buying, check the mounting arrangement and back box you already have, since metal faceplates can behave differently from plastic ones, and confirm that a switched single socket is what you need rather than a double or unswitched unit. Compare it with standard plastic switched sockets on build quality and finish, and with unswitched metal sockets if you plan to control the circuit elsewhere. No specifications beyond the 13A rating and single switched format are given, so treat those as the facts to work from. Available on Sokonia.
