Logicor has formed a partnership with CEF Group, the British owned electrical wholesaler with over 50 years of experience and the largest number of outlets of any UK distributor.

CEF Group will be the sole distributor of Logicor’s Green Plug Wall Socket product in the UK.

The Green Plug Wall Socket can save electricity in new build homes or as retro-fit to existing buildings and is designed to fit into a deep 47mm back box, whether metal or plastic.

Where the Wall Socket differs to a standard wall socket is its adjustable air-driven timer function that switches off the power supply completely and automatically after a user-set duration. Once turned off, the Wall Socket and any connected appliances consume zero electricity, therefore saving energy, money and reducing fire hazards.

The user can independently set each of the two plug points in the Wall Socket for a duration of between 15 minutes and 24 hours. The timer function can also be disabled when necessary to act just like a normal wall socket, switching on and off as and when required.

When the timer duration option is selected, a light display signals when the electricity supply is connected and the air-driven timer device starts counting down to switch off the power completely and automatically after the required time.

The Wall Socket complements Logicor’s Green Plug energy saver range. The Green Plug is designed to switch off everyday household electrical appliances that are either accidentally left switched on or normally left on standby for long periods of time.

Wasted energy comprises of not just standby usage but also the electricity that is used accidentally when, for example, an iron is left on or items kept charging over night. Professor Martin Crowder of London’s Imperial College calculates that use of a Logicor Green Plug can save up to £350 from the average annual household energy bill.

“Logicor is pleased to be in partnership with the CEF Group as the firm has very similar green aspirations to our own and recognises the benefits of the wall socket in the market as a unique energy saving product. The partnership with CEF will ensure that Logicor’s products are distributed to the market at a competitive price and volume. We expect to see huge demand for the Green Plug Wall Socket as the construction sector looks to comply with Government regulation, this is particularly important to new builds which have to be zero carbon by 2016.” said David Bowen, Managing Director, Logicor.
