Description
Plum is a colour we rarely see on a power point, and it does something quiet and useful: the plate reads as part of a painted wall instead of a white square interrupting it. This is a single switched socket, moulded in polycarbonate, with a chrome rocker and chrome detailing set against the deep purple face. The screwless plate keeps the front clean, with no fixing heads on show, and at 88mm square it asks very little of the wall it sits on.
We would choose this where a wall in a strong shade deserves better than standard white: a bedroom behind a bedside table, a desk in a study, a boot room, a snug. The 13A rating covers what a home actually plugs in, from a kettle to a lamp or a laptop charger, and the rocker lets you cut the supply without pulling the plug out. It suits anyone finishing a room properly in one go, and it sits happily alongside chrome or nickel ironmongery. Indoor rooms only, and a domestic household supply.
The moulded body is a tough plastic that holds its colour and never needs polishing, which is part of why we are happy putting it in busy family rooms. For cleaning, turn the power off at the consumer unit, wipe the plate with a dry or barely damp cloth, then let it dry fully before the power goes back on. Keep abrasives and solvents well away from the coloured surface, as both will dull it. It carries a ten year warranty. If you like the look, we would run the same plum plate across the switches in that room so the line stays consistent, and let the chrome pick up on nearby handles, taps or lamp bases.

Frequently Asked
What size is the front plate?
The plate measures 88mm square, with a projection of 25mm from the wall face.
What is the socket rated at?
It is a 13A switched single socket for use on a domestic household supply.
Is the switch part of the socket?
Yes. It has a rocker switch, so you can isolate the socket without unplugging whatever is connected.
What are the plate and rocker made from?
The plate is moulded polycarbonate in plum, and the rocker and insert detailing are chrome.
Can it be used in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is intended for dry indoor rooms only, so kitchens, bedrooms, halls and living spaces rather than wet areas or exposed positions.
How should I clean the plum finish?
Switch the power off at the consumer unit first, then use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid cream cleaners, scouring pads and solvent-based sprays.
