Despite a lot of care and efforts spent in house decoration, it's inevitable to make some careless mistakes. One of the regrets many people have after moving into their new houses is that no enough sockets have been mounted during decoration. Of course, the convenience of power utilization has much to do with the quality of home life. If there are no enough sockets, you have to supplement with a lot of extension cords, both detracting from the beauty and unsafe. Therefore, we should deliberate on the matter of sockets before decoration. So: how to choose sockets for safety and comfort considerations during decoration?

CHINT Switches recommend you to pick the following sockets during decoration for your convenient utilization of power and safety.

Recommendation 1:

Large-spacing five-hole socket

Normally, apart from the 16A sockets dedicated to high-power electrical appliances, the five-hole sockets are the most widely used at home. Such a combination of both two-hole and three-hole sockets is applicable to both devices having two-pin and three-pin plugs. That's why five-hole sockets can be seen everywhere - by the couch, bedside table, desk or wall.

Despite the good applicability of such five-hole sockets, you may find it impossible to simultaneously use their three-hole set and two-hole set, since the spacing between plug holes is too small - this causes a waste of space.

Therefore, it's better to select large-spacing inclined five-hole sockets, such as CHINT Switch Sockets NEW2H series, whose inclined five holes (two-whole set + three-whole set) are staggered with a large spacing of 45mm, enabling the simultaneous use of both sets of plug holes without mutual interference.

Recommendation 2: 

One-switch eight-hole socket

In some places at home, such as the laundering & drying areas in the balcony or the bathroom, there are intensive electrical appliances and basically fixed devices, where 1 five-hole socket is usually not enough for power utilization but 2 sockets are a waste and space-occupying. Meanwhile, the high-frequency use of devices means frequent plugging/unplugging, which will inevitably affect the socket's service life, and the constantly power-on state is also unsafe.

Two sets of plug holes are not enough, but three sets are just right - CHINT One-switch Eight-hole Socket provides three sets of plug holes (2 three-hole sets + 1 two-hole set) to facilitate your use.

With such a socket in the balcony, you can use the washing machine and dryer at the same time, and leave the spare set of plug holes to charge the robot vacuum cleaner; and with such a socket in the bathroom, you can keep the intelligent closestool cover, towel warmer and hair dryer powered and save the trouble of plugging/unplugging them frequently - the socket has its own switch to power on/off easily, reducing the frequency of plugging/unplugging and prolonging the service life of the devices.

Recommendation 3:

USB-20W fast charge socket

More and more digital devices have been developed for household use, such as touch-and-talk pens, cell phones and tablet PCs, providing us much convenience for study and work, but also bringing an increasing need of charge due to their frequent use. In the past, these devices were usually connected to plugs with USB cables and charged on two-hole, three-hole or five-hole sockets. In such case, users often ran into the trouble of failing to find plugs or using the wrong plugs. Luckily, there is a more convenient option today.

It's the amazing charger for household digital devices - CHINT Switch Sockets NEW3L Series USB-20W Fast Charge Socket!

Different from regular sockets, this fast charge socket is designed with both classic USB port and Type-C port to meet the fast charge need of devices with different interfaces using only one USB cable. Meanwhile, the USB port is available for a maximum 20W output power, enabling fast and stable charge to save time and ease "anxiety about low battery". 

Recommendation 4: 

Multifunctional footlight socket

Apart from powering and charging, some sockets with "ingenious design" are two-in-one in functionality and can improve the quality of home life better. For example, when you get up in the midnight and don't want to turn on the light to affect your resting family, a night light is a preferred choice for this daily scenario; however, it usually needs to occupy a set of plug holes, so it will be perfect if there is a socket that has a sensor footlight with itself. 

Serving as both a footlight and a five-hole socket, CHINT Infrared Sensor Footlight Socket has the function of infrared sensor recognition - light on when sensing a human body and go off after a time lapse - providing lighting for you when you return home or get up in the night, and avoiding affecting your resting family. Meanwhile, the large-spacing five-hole socket design is applicable to a variety of household electrical appliances, and suitable for being mounted at the bedside, hallway or aisle.

The aforesaid four sockets of CHINT (Large-spacing Five-hole Socket, One-switch Eight-hole Socket, USB Fast Charge Socket and Footlight Socket) have their respective purpose of use, not only saving your care and efforts but also guaranteeing the safety in home life. So why not recommend them to your friends who are having houses decorated now?
