Opinions on USB Socket Outlets

[coolsparx]

I have fitted a few USB sockets, mainly Click & Hager, I always test the actual USB outlet with a USB votlage tester (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01DIPF350/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), no problems with them so far.

I am a massive fan of the Scolmore Click range & almost exclusively fit it unless the customer is supplying their own. Their MiniGrid system is brilliant, the terminals are good quality, unfortunately their USB sockets are only single although how much of an issue that is I don't know, ceiling pull switches etch I use Hager as they are better.

So 9 products tested, all failed. It would be helpful if they told us what the products were so we could avoid them. They always seem to do that, test products but blur out the manufacturers name and model numbers, how is that helping anyone?

^^ maybe we should all tell our clients not to fit them ..... That's what I do
