OP means “original post” or “original poster”
The evidence we have is a single box. We think it’s shallow, so suggests a switch, rather than a socket. But photo can be deceiving.
It also shows 1.5mm cable. Again, not conclusive.
Red tape on black conductor. This also suggests a light switch. Red for feed, identified black for switch wire.
I’d say discarded lightswitch 99% sure.
The 100% confirmation is by testing between that red and black. Which none of us can do over the internet.
The OP has already said he will get an electrician in. Best course of action.
