What are surface-mounted sockets?
Surface-mounted sockets are usually mounted on the wall. In contrast to built-in sockets, surface-mounted sockets are not recessed.

In addition to their high practical suitability, many people also use surface-mounted sockets as a stylish, distinctive design element.

What are built-in sockets?
Built-in sockets are often used on walls in living rooms, bedrooms, children's rooms or even bathrooms. Not only are these easy to assemble, they also do not hinder the design of the living space with furniture. Built-in sockets are also often used in kitchens. As with surface-mounted sockets, there are also built-in sockets with USB ports. Built-in sockets should be combined with a socket fuse (cap), especially in workshops or storage rooms.

What are retractable sockets?
Even today, the retractable sockets seem slightly futuristic. The retractable sockets are space-saving energy suppliers in the kitchen, at the desk or on other tables and furniture. The retractable sockets provide security, especially in the kitchen. If liquid leaks, it cannot get into a recessed socket. This is why these types of sockets, there are also retractable power strips, are so popular in the bathroom. There are also variants with USB ports.

What socket accessories are there?
In addition to extension cables and power strips, Livingpoint24.de's range includes so-called flat plugs. These can conduct electricity behind furniture without dangerous kinks in the cable.
