Description
Sky blue is not a colour most power points come in, and that is exactly why this one earns its place. The front is a screwless plate, so the face is an uninterrupted square of colour with nothing on it but the socket mouth and the rocker, both finished in chrome. It is a single switched 13A socket, so the point can be turned off at the wall without unplugging anything. We stock it for people who have already chosen the paint and would rather the electrics joined in than vanished into the wall.
It suits rooms where the walls are doing something. We reach for it in children's bedrooms and playrooms, in a kitchen with painted cabinetry, beside a desk in a home office, or in a utility where a little colour lifts a plain run of wall. A single socket keeps the footprint tight, which helps behind furniture or on the narrow stretch of wall between a door and a corner. Keep it to dry rooms inside the house; it is not one for a bathroom zone or anywhere outdoors.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate, with chrome giving the blue something to sit against. Cleaning asks very little: switch it off, run a soft cloth lightly over the plate, and keep polishes, solvents and kitchen sprays well away, since they dull the finish and mark the chrome. It carries a ten year warranty. On a white or pale grey wall it reads as a deliberate spot of colour, and against a wall painted a close shade it settles in quietly. Where several are going into one room, we would keep to the same colour throughout and let the chrome do the linking.
