Design Light Dual USB Socket — 2 m Lead (Black, 12 V DC)
Add convenient device charging to desks, cabinets and furniture. This compact Design Light dual USB socket provides reliable 5 V charging from a low-voltage 12 V DC supply, perfect for worktops, bedside panels, shopfitting and home offices. With one USB-A (2.0) and one USB-C outlet, integrated thermal protection and a generous 2 m pre-wired lead, it’s a neat, furniture-ready power solution.
For best performance, power it from a constant-voltage 12 V DC supply rated 12–36 W — see our LED drivers & power supplies. Idle (parasitic) draw is just 15 mA.
Key features
- Dual output: USB-A (2.0) + USB-C for phones, tablets and accessories.
- Stable 5 V charging: 5 V DC (±5%) up to 2.1 A for a single connected device.
- Furniture-ready: 2 m factory-fitted lead for flexible routing inside desks and cabinets.
- Thermal protection: built-in over-temperature safeguard for safer operation.
- Low standby: only ~15 mA quiescent current.
- Clean look: black finish suits modern interiors; quick, tidy installation.
Where it’s ideal
- Workstations, hot-desks and meeting tables.
- Bedrooms and living rooms (bedside tables, media units).
- Kitchens and utility areas (inside cabinetry — low-voltage side only).
- Retail displays and reception counters.

Installation (summary)
- Provide a constant-voltage 12 V DC supply (12–36 W recommended) — do not connect to 230 V mains directly.
- Mount the module in your furniture cut-out or panel and secure per your hardware/fixture method.
- Connect the 2 m lead to your 12 V DC supply, observing polarity.
- Power on and test both USB outputs with your devices.
Good to know
- This is a low-voltage DC accessory — keep mains and low-voltage wiring separated.
- For LED project builds, the same 12 V PSU can power both lighting and this USB module if capacity allows. Size the supply appropriately.
- For cables, splitters and tidy installs, see our LED strip accessories.

FAQs
Can it fast-charge my phone?
It provides standard 5 V USB charging up to 2.1 A for one device. Proprietary fast-charge protocols aren’t specified.
Can I run two devices at once?
Yes — the two ports share the available current. If both are in use, charging speed per device may reduce.
Does it work from 24 V?
The input range is 9–16 V DC (nominal 12 V). Use a regulated 12 V supply.
