Mechanical design for the new Pendant Socket Outlet

Pendant Socket Outlet
The current pendant outlet is an old, generic design manufactured by multiple Chinese
companies.
Because of the old, generical design of the current product, Voltex have re-designed the
product, to improve the product both for the installer and from an aesthetic perspective. It also
makes the product unique to Voltex.
