Home & Business Accessories expands its portfolio with new socket models from Design Light

Accelerated technological development brings more and more electrical and electronic appliances, gadgets and communication and control systems into our lives that need to be powered by electricity. To make space as organised as possible, multi-functional, easy-to-use and handy plug systems are needed. Manufacturers are continually adapting to these requirements, with models becoming increasingly available. Home & Business Accessories is expanding its portfolio with new Design Light socket systems that can easily be used in both homes and offices. Modern, versatile and compact in design, the sockets fit perfectly into our technology-dominated everyday lives.

Sockets are no longer just for connecting appliances to electricity

Socket systems now installed in homes and offices reflect the demands of modern technology. They are no longer just a source of electricity on a wall, but incorporate USB ports, are discreet, appearing only when needed, or can be moved around depending on where the work is done. Gone are the days of extension cords and wires strung everywhere, power is designed to be where you need it, when you need it.

Manufacturers are now concerned with getting as many charging possibilities as possible into one socket.  Mobile phones are present in our work throughout the day. Periodically they need to be recharged and this can sometimes put us in the position of 'fighting' for an outlet. Adding USB ports to sockets may be one way of solving the problem, especially as they are small enough that more than one can be fitted to a single socket. If that system consists of two normal sockets and two USB ports, it can be a power source for four devices at the same time.

Socket systems for offices, but also for the living room or kitchen

In addition to their modern and compact design, Design Light socket systems also offer the possibility to charge phones and other electronic devices via special ports. In addition to USB ports, there are models that offer inductive charging or with RJ45 or HDMI ports. Below are some of the models you can find at Home & Business Accessories:
