Description
A single switched socket in deep ocean blue, with a screwless front plate that sits flat against the wall and shows no fixings. The chrome rocker and insert give a crisp centre to the colour, and the neon indicator tells you at a glance when the power point is live. Two USB-A ports sit beneath the pin holes and share their charging output between them, so a phone, a speaker or a set of earbuds can be topped up while the socket itself stays free for the kettle or a lamp. It is rated 13A.
We fit sockets like this in bedrooms, home offices and kitchens, anywhere a surface tends to gather cables and plug-in chargers. Beside a bed it takes a phone overnight without a charging block in the way; on a desk it keeps a keyboard, a headset and a laptop fed from one place. The rocker means each item can be switched off at the plate rather than unplugged, which suits anyone who prefers a tidy worktop or a clear bedside. Coloured plates like this one sit well in rooms where white plastic looks like an afterthought.
The plate and insert are moulded polycarbonate with the colour running through, so scuffs do not show pale, and the chrome detailing is set against the blue rather than painted over it. Keeping it looking well is a matter of a dry cloth over the plate now and then; skip cream cleaners, wipes and solvents, all of which will cloud the surface. It is intended for dry indoor rooms running on an ordinary household supply. It carries a ten year warranty. Ocean blue is bold enough to be a deliberate choice, so we would keep the rest of the wall quiet and let the plate do the talking.

Frequently Asked
How much power do the USB ports give?
The two USB-A ports share a total of 10W between them, which is suited to phones, earbuds, speakers and e-readers rather than fast charging a large tablet or laptop.
What size is the plate?
It is a small single plate measuring 88mm by 88mm, with a rear projection of 35mm.
Is the socket switched?
Yes, it has a rocker switch, and a neon insert that shows when the socket is live.
What is it made from?
The plate is polycarbonate with the ocean blue colour moulded through it, paired with a chrome insert and rocker.
Does the blue finish mark easily?
It wipes clean with a dry cloth and, because the colour runs through the polycarbonate rather than sitting on top as a coating, light scuffs do not show as pale patches. Avoid abrasive pads and solvent-based cleaners.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry indoor rooms only.
