Description
Mains power and charging on one plate: a 13A switched socket with two USB-A ports set into the face, so phones, earbuds and speakers can be topped up without a plug-in adaptor. The ports share a 10W supply between them. The plate is flat and screwless, finished in champagne gold, with a chrome rocker and a chrome insert around it, and a neon indicator that shows at a glance when the switch is live.
We would choose this for spots where a phone tends to live: a bedside table, the end of a kitchen worktop, a desk in a spare room, or a hallway shelf where keys and chargers collect. It suits households fed up with hunting for adaptors, and it keeps the socket itself free for a lamp, a radio or a kettle. The rocker gives you a proper off, rather than leaving everything drawing power overnight. Champagne gold reads warmer than chrome and quieter than brass, so it sits happily against pale plaster, oak and warm-toned paint. It is intended for dry rooms inside the house, wired to an ordinary household supply.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate rather than pressed metal, which keeps it light and gives the gold an even, consistent tone across the face. Keep it looking well by running a dry cloth over the plate when you dust the room, and leave cream cleaners, wipes and solvents alone, since they will cloud the finish and mark the chrome. If the ports gather fluff, a puff of air is kinder than poking at them. It carries a ten year warranty. Screwless plates like this one look best used consistently through a room, so if you are replacing the sockets on one wall it is worth doing the switches by the door at the same time and letting the gold repeat along the run.

Frequently Asked
What can the USB ports charge?
They are USB-A ports sharing 10W between them, which suits phones, earbuds, speakers and e-readers. A large tablet will charge, but more slowly if something else is plugged in alongside it.
Are the ports USB-C?
No, both are USB-A, so you will need a cable with a USB-A end or a suitable adaptor cable for newer devices.
Is the socket switched?
Yes, it has a rocker switch, and the neon insert lights to show when the socket is live.
How big is the plate?
The plate is 88mm square, with a 35mm depth behind it.
How do I keep the champagne gold finish clean?
A dry or barely damp cloth is all it needs. Avoid abrasive creams, kitchen sprays and solvent-based cleaners, all of which will dull the gold and the chrome detail.
