Description
A single 13A switched power point on a screwless matt black plate, with a chrome rocker set into the face. There are no fixing screws on show, so the plate reads as an uninterrupted flat square, 88mm across. The black is flat rather than glossy, and the chrome gives it a small point of brightness. A switched single like this earns its keep where the socket stays on show rather than hidden away behind a sofa.
We stock it for rooms where black ironmongery and dark paintwork have already set the tone: kitchens, studies, media walls and bedrooms. The rocker lets you switch off a lamp, a kettle or a charger at the wall rather than tugging at the plug, which is useful when the plate sits behind furniture. A single is the one we choose where a double would crowd a narrow worktop return or a bedside shelf, and it is a sensible pick beside a desk where only a lamp ever plugs in.
The plate is moulded in ABS, a tough plastic that holds a matt finish well, and the chrome insert keeps the rocker easy to find in a dim room. Wipe it with a dry cloth, or a barely damp one for marks, and keep solvents and abrasive creams off the matt surface, since they will polish it unevenly. Indoors, on an ordinary household supply, is where it is meant to live: dry rooms rather than anywhere damp or exposed. It carries a ten year warranty. Alongside black door handles, dark tiling and blackened metal light fittings it settles quietly into the wall in a way a polished plate never quite does. It also works against pale plaster, where the black becomes a deliberate dark note.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
The plate measures 88mm by 88mm, so it is a compact square face rather than a wide one.
Is the socket switched?
Yes. It has a rocker switch, so you can isolate whatever is plugged in without removing the plug.
What is the plate made from?
It is moulded ABS in a matt black finish, with a chrome insert around the rocker.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outside?
No. Its IP20 rating suits dry indoor rooms on a domestic supply only, so keep it away from splash zones and anywhere exposed to the weather.
How should I clean the matt black finish?
A dry cloth for dust, and a slightly damp cloth for fingermarks. Avoid solvents, polishes and cream cleaners, which can leave shiny patches on a matt surface.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, it carries a ten year warranty.
