Description
A screwless front plate means no fixing screws showing on the face, so the only things breaking the surface are the rocker and the pin apertures. The finish is platinum silver, a soft mid grey with a light sheen that reads warmer than stainless and quieter than a mirror polish, and the insert set behind it is chrome. It is a single switched 13A socket on a slim square plate, 88mm across, with a low profile that sits close to the wall rather than standing proud of it.
This is the one we reach for where a double would look heavy or simply will not fit: alongside a bedhead, at the end of a run of kitchen units, beside a desk, in a hallway where a lamp or a vacuum point is all that is needed. The rocker gives you a positive off, which matters for anything you would rather not leave live overnight, and the switch action is firm enough to find without looking. It is intended for dry rooms in the home, wired to an ordinary household supply, so kitchens, bedrooms, studies and living rooms all suit it. Bathrooms and outbuildings do not.
The plate is moulded polycarbonate rather than pressed metal, which keeps the weight down and the edges crisp, and the colour runs through the moulding rather than sitting on top as a lacquer. To clean it, switch off first, then wipe with a barely damp cloth and dry straight away; keep cream cleaners and solvents away from the plate, as they will haze the sheen. It carries a ten year warranty. We like this finish where chrome taps, handles or lamp bases are already in play, since the grey plate stays in the background instead of competing with them, and it is an easy match for pale plaster, off white paint and darker timber alike.
