Dark, low-profile plates

These fittings build a darker scheme from the wall up, using low-profile plates that sit close against the plaster. The look is modern and pared back, suited to rooms where you want sockets and switches to recede into a dark wall or stand as a deliberate contrast against a lighter one. The shared low profile keeps a run of fittings reading as one quiet line.

The dark finishes on offer

The range spans matt black, black nickel, gunmetal and anthracite, alongside brushed chrome plates fitted with black inserts. Matt black is flat and non-reflective, black nickel carries a subtle dark sheen, gunmetal leans cooler and gunpowder grey, and anthracite reads as a deep charcoal. Each gives a different weight of darkness, so you can match the tone to the rest of the room.

Sockets, switches and modules

You will find 13A single and double switched sockets, several with dual USB-A charging, plus 10AX two-way rocker switches in single and double gang layouts. Grid dimmer and fan-isolator modules sit alongside, as do intelligent dimmers up to four gang. Styles run across screwless and flat plate, so you can keep one fixing approach throughout.

Working with black inserts

Many plates pair a metal finish with a black insert, the dark panel that frames the socket holes or rockers. On a brushed chrome plate this gives a two-tone effect: a metallic border around a black centre. On matt black plates the insert and frame read as a single solid dark block. Both approaches keep the scheme cohesive.

How to choose across a room

Decide first whether you want the fittings to disappear into a dark wall or contrast against a pale one, as that points you towards matt black or a metallic finish with black detailing. Then hold to one finish and one plate style across every position. Wiring should be left to a qualified electrician. Free UK delivery over £99, worldwide shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which dark finishes are available?

The range covers matt black, black nickel, gunmetal and anthracite, plus brushed chrome plates with black inserts. Matt black is flat and non-reflective, black nickel has a subtle dark sheen, gunmetal is cooler and greyer, and anthracite reads as deep charcoal.

Do any of the black sockets include USB charging?

Yes. Several of the 13A single and double switched sockets include dual USB-A charging built into the plate, so devices can charge directly from the socket.

What is a black insert?

The insert is the panel that frames the socket holes or rockers. A black insert gives a two-tone effect on a metallic plate, or a single solid dark block on a matt black plate.

Can I get dimmers and switches to match?

Yes. The range includes 10AX two-way rocker switches, grid dimmer and fan-isolator modules and intelligent dimmers up to four gang, so lighting controls can match the sockets in the same dark finish.

Are screwless and flat plate styles both available?

Yes. Fittings come in both screwless and flat plate styles, so you can keep a single fixing approach across the room. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
