1 Gang Single 13A USB-A Socket 10W - Navy Blue

Deep navy across the front plate, with a chrome insert and a neon indicator that shows at a glance when the switch is live. A single 13A socket sits alongside two USB-A charging ports, so a phone and a pair of earbuds can take their charge without a plug top occupying the socket itself. The rocker switch gives a firm, obvious on and off. Because the plate is screwless, the face reads as a clean square with no fixing heads breaking it up.

We put sockets like this one in beside beds, above desks and along kitchen worktops, the places where charging leads otherwise compete for every power point in the room. It is a sensible swap in a spare bedroom too, where guests arrive with a phone and no adaptor. The 88mm square face keeps it modest on the wall, and the navy holds its own against painted colour, dark cabinetry and deeper wallpapers, while the chrome picks up other metal fittings nearby. Anyone tired of white plastic on a coloured wall will get on with it.

The plate and rocker are moulded in polycarbonate, with the chrome insert around the socket aperture for contrast. It is Class 1 and needs an earth connection, and it belongs in dry indoor rooms on an ordinary household supply rather than anywhere damp or exposed. To clean, turn the power off at the consumer unit first, then wipe the plate with a barely damp cloth and dry it; keep polishes, kitchen sprays and anything solvent-based well away, as they will dull the moulding and can mark the chrome. It carries a ten year warranty. We would pair it with matching navy switch plates through the same room for a consistent line along the wall, and we are happy to advise on what else works alongside it.

What do the USB ports deliver?

There are two USB-A ports rated at 10W, and that output is shared between them, so charging two devices at once splits the available power.

Is the socket switched?

Yes. It has a rocker switch with a neon indicator, so you can isolate whatever is plugged in without unplugging it.

How big is the plate?

The face measures 88mm by 88mm, and the back box depth is 35mm.

What is it made from?

The plate and rocker are polycarbonate, with a chrome insert framing the socket aperture.

Can it go in a bathroom or outside?

No. It is rated IP20, which suits dry indoor rooms only, so keep it away from splash zones and anywhere exposed to weather.

How should I clean the navy finish?

Power off first, then use a barely damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive creams, bleach and solvent cleaners, which will mark both the plate and the chrome.
