Description
This is a mains socket with charging built into the same plate: a flat screwless face in ice white, holding a switched 13A socket above two USB-A ports. The rocker is finished in chrome and carries a neon indicator, so a glance tells you whether the power is live. Both ports share a 10W supply between them, which is comfortable for a phone alongside earbuds, or a tablet left to fill up overnight. Because the plate clips together, there are no screwheads breaking up the front, and the whole thing reads more like a piece of trim than a bit of hardware.
We reach for this one wherever a lamp, a clock radio and a phone are all competing for the same point: bedsides, kitchen worktops, a desk in a spare room, the little table in a hallway. Swapping a plain socket for this one means a charger no longer takes up the socket itself, which is worth a lot in older houses where power points are thin on the ground. It suits guest rooms particularly well, since visitors can charge whatever they have arrived with and nobody has to hunt for an adaptor.
The plate and rocker are moulded in polycarbonate, so the ice white face stays even and will not lift or flake the way a painted finish can, and the chrome insert gives the front a little contrast. Keep it clean with a dry cloth or one barely dampened with water, and keep cream cleaners, polish and anything solvent well away from the face and the port openings. It is meant for dry rooms indoors, running on an ordinary household supply. It carries a ten year warranty. When we fit out a whole room we hold to one plate style throughout, so sockets, switches and any data sockets all sit in the same screwless ice white and the walls stay quiet.

Frequently Asked
How much charging power do the USB ports give?
The two USB-A ports share 10W between them. Used one at a time you get the full amount; with two devices plugged in, the power is divided.
Is the socket switched?
Yes. It has a rocker switch with a neon indicator, so you can isolate the socket without unplugging.
What size is the plate?
The face measures 88mm square, and the back box depth is 35mm.
What is the plate made from?
Moulded polycarbonate in an ice white finish, with a chrome insert on the front.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outside?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only, so keep it to bedrooms, kitchens, hallways and living spaces.
How do I clean it without marking the finish?
A soft dry cloth is usually enough. If something has stuck, use a cloth just damp with water and dry it straight after; avoid cream cleaners and solvents.
