Description
Pink is not a colour you often see on a power point, which is rather the point of this one. The screwless plate sits flat with no visible fixings on the front, and a chrome insert frames the rocker so the switch reads clearly against the colour. It is a switched socket rated at 13A, with two USB-A ports built into the face sharing a 10W output, so a phone and a set of earbuds can charge without a plug-in charger taking up the socket. A neon shows at a glance when the switch is on.
We would put this beside a bed, on a bedroom desk or at the end of a kitchen worktop, anywhere a charger would otherwise live permanently in the socket. It suits a child's or teenager's room, a cloakroom painted in a strong shade, or a utility where a bit of colour is welcome against plain walls. It is one we reach for when someone wants the electrics to join in with the scheme rather than vanish into it. Indoors, on an ordinary household supply, is where it belongs.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate with a smooth pink surface and chrome detailing at the switch. Isolate the circuit before you clean it, then wipe the face with a soft cloth, barely damp at most, and keep solvents and cream cleaners well away, as they will dull the finish and mark the chrome. Let it dry fully before the power goes back on. It carries a ten year warranty. Set against white paintwork the colour reads brighter, while chrome or polished nickel handles and switch plates elsewhere in the room pick up the insert and tie the whole thing together.
