2 Gang Double 13A USB-A Socket 10W - Bright Teal

Colour on the wall, rather than another white plate: a bright teal front with a chrome insert behind it, so the socket faces and rockers stand out against the finish. There are two switched 13A sockets, each with its own rocker and a neon indicator that glows when the socket is live, and four USB-A charging ports set into the insert. Ports on the same side share their supply. The plate is screwless, giving a clean face with no screw heads on show.

We would fit this where devices outnumber sockets: a kitchen worktop, a desk in a spare room, a bedside table where phones and a reading lamp all want feeding. The USB ports mean chargers can stay in the drawer, and the rockers let you cut power to an appliance without pulling the plug. Teal suits a painted wall or a tiled splashback that already carries colour, and it goes down well in children's and teenagers' rooms, where a little brightness is welcome. Keep it to indoor rooms fed from a household mains supply.

The plate and rockers are moulded polycarbonate with a smooth teal face, and the chrome insert gives a harder, reflective contrast at the centre where the ports and pin holes sit. Dust it with a dry cloth; for finger marks around the ports, use a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away, and keep solvents and cream cleaners clear, as they dull the finish. It carries a ten year warranty. We stock it for rooms where the accessories are meant to be seen rather than blended into the paint, and the chrome keeps the colour looking deliberate. If you are matching several points along the same wall, keeping to a single plate style reads more settled than mixing screwless and screwed fronts.

How much power do the USB ports give?

Each side of the socket offers 10W shared between its USB-A ports, so charging is slower if both ports on that side are in use at once.

What size is the front plate?

The plate measures 146mm long by 88mm high, and the whole accessory weighs around 0.21kg.

Are the sockets individually switched?

Yes. Each 13A socket has its own rocker switch, with a neon indicator to show when it is live.

Does it offer USB-C as well?

No, this version is USB-A only, with four ports across the plate.

Can it go in a bathroom or outdoors?

No. It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry indoor rooms such as bedrooms, kitchens and living spaces.

Will the teal finish mark easily?

Fingerprints show most around the ports and rockers. A dry cloth, or a barely damp one for stubborn marks, keeps both the teal and the chrome looking right; avoid anything abrasive.
