Description
A screwless front plate gives this power point a clean face, with no fixing heads breaking the surface. The plate is light grey with a chrome rocker, so the on and off position reads at a glance against the softer body colour, and the square plate measures 88mm across. It is a 13A switched socket on one gang, made as a Class 1 fitting requiring an earth connection. The profile is shallow and unfussy, which keeps it quiet on a wall rather than drawing the eye.
We reach for grey plates in rooms where crisp white looks cold against warm plaster, painted brick or a natural stone worktop, and this one suits kitchens, studies, hallways and bedrooms equally well. A switched face is useful beside a kettle or a desk, letting you cut power to an appliance without pulling the plug each time. It is meant for dry rooms indoors and runs on an ordinary household supply, so it belongs inside the house rather than in a garage bay, a porch or a shower room.
The plate and rocker are moulded in polycarbonate, a tough plastic that holds its colour and resists the knocks a socket takes from vacuum cleaners and furniture legs. The chrome switch detail sits flush within the moulding. Keeping it tidy takes very little: run a dry cloth over the face now and then, and keep bleach, kitchen sprays and solvent cleaners away from the plastic, as they will dull the surface over time. It carries a ten year warranty. We would pair it with brushed or polished ironmongery and grey painted walls, where a white plate would jump out; on a darker scheme it reads as a soft mid tone rather than a bright square. Sold as a single socket.
