Description
Warm grey with a chrome insert, this is a single switched power point with a pair of USB-A charging ports set into the same plate. The rocker switch works the 13A socket, and a neon marker in the insert tells you at a glance when it is live. The plate is screwless, so the face sits as a plain rectangle with nothing breaking up the front, and the warm grey has a soft, slightly muted tone rather than a cold industrial one.
This is the sort of thing we fit where a phone, a tablet and a lamp are all after the same point: bedsides, a desk in a spare room, the end of a kitchen worktop, a hallway table. Charging straight from the plate means the plug half stays free for whatever else needs it, which makes it useful in smaller rooms and in properties that are let. It is intended for indoor rooms fed from an ordinary household supply, not for outbuildings, bathroom zones or anywhere it might be rained on.
The plate and insert are moulded in polycarbonate, a hard-wearing plastic that holds its colour and does not mark easily, with the chrome-finished insert giving a little contrast against the grey. Keep it looking right by wiping the face with a dry cloth now and then; if something has been spilled on it, a barely damp cloth on the switched-off plate is enough, and cleaning sprays are best kept away from the port openings. It carries a ten year warranty. We like warm grey against pale plaster, oak and greige paintwork, where the usual white plate can look stark, and the chrome insert picks up chrome taps, handles and lamp bases in the same room. Ours is stocked in this warm grey and chrome pairing.

Frequently Asked
How much power do the USB ports give?
The two USB-A ports share a 10W output between them, which suits phones, e-readers, headphones and other small devices. If both are in use at once, the available power is split.
Is the socket switched?
Yes, there is a rocker switch for the 13A socket, and a neon indicator in the insert shows when it is on.
What size is the plate?
The front plate measures 88mm by 88mm, and the back box depth is 35mm.
What is it made from?
The plate and insert are moulded polycarbonate, finished in warm grey with a chrome-coloured insert.
Can it be used in a bathroom or outside?
No. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry indoor rooms only.
How should I clean it?
A dry cloth for dust, or a barely damp one for marks with the power off. Avoid solvents, abrasive creams and spraying anything directly at the USB ports.
