Description
A switched socket in a deep dark brown, with a screwless plate that sits flat and shows no fixing heads on its face. Alongside the 13A socket sit two USB-A ports, sharing their output between them, so a phone and a pair of earbuds can take charge from the same plate. The rocker carries a neon insert that glows while the power is on, useful in a dim corner. Chrome picks the insert out against the brown, a quiet bit of contrast rather than anything loud.
We reach for this where a socket is on show and a bright white plate would jar: a panelled study, a snug with dark timber, a hallway in warm paint. It earns its place at a bedside, where the USB ports keep chargers off the floor and leave the socket free for a lamp. Desks and kitchen worktops suit it too. The switch means you can cut power to whatever is connected without unplugging anything. Keep it to dry indoor rooms on household supply; it is not one for outbuildings, garages or anywhere that gets damp.
The plate and its moulding are polycarbonate, a tough plastic that carries its colour through rather than wearing pale at the edges. Cleaning asks little: a dry cloth over the face, or barely damp if something has been spilt, and nothing abrasive or solvent based, since cream cleaners and polishes dull the brown. It carries a ten year warranty. We would pair it with bronze or brown ironmongery and darker switch plates; tell us which rooms you are fitting out and we will keep the finishes consistent. It is a small piece of hardware that quietly does two jobs at once.

Frequently Asked
How much charging power do the USB ports give?
There are two USB-A ports rated at 10W in total, shared between them, so the output divides when both are in use.
What size is the plate?
It measures 88mm square, so it keeps to the standard single plate footprint.
Is the socket switched?
Yes. It has a rocker switch with a neon insert that shows at a glance when the power is on.
What is the plate made from?
Polycarbonate, a hard-wearing moulded plastic in dark brown, with a chrome insert for contrast.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry indoor rooms only.
How should I clean it?
Wipe the face with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Keep solvents, polishes and cream cleaners away, as they will dull the brown finish.
