Sockets – Types, Features & Wholesale Supply

Wide Variety of Electrical Sockets for Every Need

At Bank of Lamps, we offer one of the largest assortments of electrical sockets in Europe — with over 28,000 options sourced from leading manufacturers. Whether you're an installer, distributor, or procurement professional, choosing the right socket can be complex due to differences in standards, voltages, formats, and certifications across regions.

As a B2B-only wholesaler with over 27 years of experience, we help clients select products tailored to their target markets. Our customers benefit from access to local and supplier stock, accurate delivery forecasts, and dedicated expert support.

In residential and commercial projects, Kopp switches are commonly paired with reliable sockets. Using one brand for both elements reduces procurement risks and guarantees certified performance.

In high-quality electrical systems, Berker switches are frequently combined with certified socket solutions. Using one brand for both components simplifies logistics and guarantees consistent standards.

Stylish and Functional Socket Designs

Sockets are not only technical elements — they’re also part of the overall room aesthetic. We offer models that integrate seamlessly into modern, industrial, minimalist, or classic interiors:

• Minimalist white or elegant black finishes
• Matte, glossy, or metallic styles
• Flush-mounted, surface-mounted, or retractable versions
• IP-rated outdoor sockets

As a wholesale partner, we also support custom orders and bulk consolidation, helping our clients reduce costs while maintaining design consistency.

For buyers looking for brand-specific solutions, the Schneider Electric Sockets range offers certified reliability and multiple form factors.
