2A Round Pin Mains Plug BS546 White

A 2A round pin plug is specifically designed for low-power devices such as lamps and small electrical accessories. It is commonly found in older UK installations, particularly on lighting circuits controlled by a wall switch, allowing lights to be turned on or off centrally rather than at the plug itself. Suitable for loads up to approximately 480 watts at 240V, this plug type is not interchangeable with the standard UK 13A square-pin plug used for general-purpose sockets. It is typically used in controlled lighting systems or in applications where separation from regular socket circuits is preferred for safety or convenience.
