Description
Ocean blue is a proper colour here, deep and just slightly green, and it sits on a screwless plate so nothing breaks up the face. The front section clips over a frame beneath it, which gives a flat square plate with crisp edges and no fixings on show. The rocker and the socket insert are chrome, a bright note against the blue that also catches the light from the side. It is a single 13A switched socket, small enough to sit neatly on a narrow return of wall.
One socket earns its place where a double would be more than the spot needs: beside a bed for a lamp, on a landing, at the end of a worktop, or behind a chest of drawers where the plug stays in for good. The rocker lets you cut the power at the plate rather than pulling the plug out, which is useful for anything left switched on. We reach for coloured plates in rooms where the walls are already doing something. Indoors, on an ordinary household supply, is where it belongs.
The plate is moulded polycarbonate, with the chrome insert and rocker set into it so the front reads as one piece. Keep it clean with a dry cloth, and if marks gather round the rocker, use a cloth wrung out almost dry and keep it away from the pin holes; abrasive creams and solvent cleaners will take the shine off the blue. It carries a ten year warranty. Colour repays a bit of discipline, so we would run the same plate right through a room rather than dotting one in among white ones. Screw heads are usually the first thing the eye finds on a plate, and there are none here.
