VILMA ST150 Electrical Socket, IP44, Matt Black

The VILMA ST150 electrical socket is a high-quality, recessed power outlet designed for reliable performance in both residential and commercial environments. Featuring a sophisticated matt black finish, this single socket integrates seamlessly into modern interior designs while providing a secure and stable power connection. With an IP44 ingress protection rating, it is engineered to withstand exposure to moisture, making it a versatile choice for areas where standard sockets might be insufficient.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the VILMA ST150 is its robust IP44 protection, which offers enhanced safety against splashing water and dust ingress. This durability ensures that the socket remains functional in challenging environments. The recessed mounting design allows for a clean, flush installation that minimizes protrusion from the wall, contributing to a minimalist aesthetic. Furthermore, the inclusion of grounding contacts provides an essential layer of electrical safety, protecting users and connected devices from potential faults.

• Sheltered outdoor areas such as covered patios or balconies
• Bathrooms outside of direct water spray zones
• Modern residential and commercial interiors requiring a matt black finish

This socket is not intended for direct exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water, as the IP44 rating only covers protection against splashing. It is also not suitable for installations requiring multiple socket outlets in a single frame without additional modular components.
