Description
A double switched socket with charging built in, this one takes the screwless approach: a flat brushed steel plate with no visible screws, and a chrome insert behind the rockers. Each side gives you a 13A power point with its own rocker switch and a neon to show when it is live. Four USB-A ports sit in a row below, paired so that each pair shares its output. The face is softly brushed so it catches light without glare.
We would fit this where a plain socket keeps losing its slot to a charger: a bedside table, a desk, a kitchen worktop where the tablet lives while you cook. It suits busy family rooms and home offices, and it is one we reach for in guest bedrooms, where phones tend to arrive without their own plugs. It is also the plate we suggest for a teenager's room, where chargers multiply. Because the charging sits in the plate, both halves of the socket stay free for lamps and appliances. The switches let you isolate each side on its own. It is for indoor rooms only, wired to an ordinary household supply.
The plate is steel with a brushed silver finish and moulded polycarbonate behind it, with chrome around the inserts. We stock it in brushed steel with the chrome insert, and it sits comfortably with other plain metal plates. Cleaning wants little: switch off at the wall, wipe along the grain of the brushing with a barely damp cloth, then dry it. Avoid cream cleaners and anything abrasive, as they dull a brushed face quickly. It carries a ten year warranty. In a room already fitted with brushed steel plates it slips in quietly, which is rather the point of a screwless front.

Frequently Asked
How much charging does it give?
There are four USB-A ports rated at 10W, shared per side, so each pair splits its output between the two devices plugged into it.
Are the sockets switched?
Yes. Each side has its own rocker switch with a neon indicator, so you can turn one half off and leave the other live.
What size is the plate?
It measures 146mm by 88mm, with a depth of 47mm behind the front plate.
Can it go in a bathroom or outside?
No. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms, so keep it to bedrooms, kitchens, offices and living spaces away from splashes.
How should I clean the brushed steel?
Switch off first, then wipe along the direction of the brushing with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away. Skip cream cleaners, solvents and scouring pads.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a ten year warranty.
