Had to replace a lamp, but the same was no longer available. Great advice, found a suitable replacement and delivered it quickly.


Gira System 55 – the standard programme for flush-mounted installation

The Gira System 55 is the manufacturer's most widely used design programme and forms the basis for the majority of sockets in the WATT24 range. The Schuko sockets (Type F, 16 A, 250 V~) are supplied as inserts without a cover frame and can be combined with all standard System 55 frames – single or multi-gang.

For installation, versions with and without fixing claws are available. Sockets without claws (o.Kr.) are particularly suited to flush-mounted boxes with limited installation depth. All variants comply with DIN VDE 0620 and are approved for flush-mounted installation in Germany.

Gira TX44 – Schuko sockets with hinged lid

The Gira TX44 range adds sockets with an integrated hinged lid to the portfolio. This version provides mechanical contact protection and is particularly suited to areas where sockets are used infrequently but need to be reliable – for example in storage areas, workshops or plant rooms. TX_44 sockets are available in pure white, anthracite and aluminium and can also be fitted in System 55 frames.


Gira sockets IP44 – for damp locations and outdoor use

For installation in damp locations or protected outdoor areas, Gira offers Schuko sockets with protection rating IP44. They come as a complete system with sealing set and 1- or 2-gang frame and are splash-proof – suitable for bathrooms, exterior walls or wet commercial areas. The integrated hinged lid reliably protects the contacts against moisture even when not in use.

System 55 Standard IP20 with / without claws Flush-mounted, indoor
TX_44 with hinged lid IP20 mechanical contact protection Plant room, workshop
KD + Set IP44 IP44 sealing set, 1-gang / 2-gang frame Damp location, outdoor

Gira sockets with USB – power and charging in one

For modern installations in offices, conference rooms or hotels, Gira offers Schuko sockets with integrated USB power supply (Type A + Type C). The combination inserts deliver 16 A / 250 V~ via the Schuko contact plus USB charging output – without separate adapters. Versions in black and aluminium are available from stock at WATT24.

FAQ: Gira Sockets

Which design programmes does Gira offer for sockets?
The most widely used programme is the Gira System 55, which offers a broad selection of frames and inserts. In addition, the TX_44 programme features sockets with hinged lids, while the E2 range covers straightforward installations. All design lines use compatible flush-mounted boxes to DIN 49073.
Are Gira sockets suitable for damp locations?
Yes – Gira offers Schuko sockets with protection rating IP44 as a complete set including sealing set and hinged lid. These versions are suitable for bathrooms (outer zone), wet commercial rooms and protected outdoor areas. For installation in areas exposed to direct water jets, IP55 or higher is recommended.
What does "Schuko Type F" mean for Gira sockets?
Schuko stands for Schutzkontakt (protective contact) – the socket standard used in Germany and most of Europe. Type F refers to the German standard to DIN VDE 0620, featuring two round pins and side earthing clips. All Gira Schuko sockets in the WATT24 range are rated 16 A / 250 V~ and comply with this standard.
Can Gira sockets be combined with other Gira components?
Yes – all System 55 sockets can be combined with Gira inserts and frames from the System 55 programme. The same applies to Gira switches, dimmers and communication inserts from the same range – allowing homogeneous switch combinations within a single cover frame.
Do Gira sockets have child protection (shutter)?
Certain versions feature an integrated shutter that prevents single pins from being inserted – the contacts only release when both openings are actuated simultaneously. This applies in particular to the USB combination sockets. Standard Schuko inserts meet the requirements of DIN VDE 0620 without additional child protection.
