Description
Copper across the plate, chrome around the switch inserts, so the front reads warm with a cooler detail where the rockers sit. It is a double 13A socket, switched, with neon indicators that tell you at a glance which side is live, and four USB-A ports set into the face for phones, tablets and speakers. Charging is shared between the ports on each side. The screwless plate keeps the copper unbroken across the front. It is a compact plate, tidy enough to sit above a worktop or behind a bedside table without dominating the wall.
We reach for this kind of socket where devices pile up: a bedside where phones charge overnight, a kitchen end wall where the tablet lives, a desk in a spare room, a hallway table by the door. Because the charging runs from the ports rather than a plug, both sockets stay free for lamps, the kettle or a laptop supply. The rocker switches let you cut the power to one side while the other keeps working. It suits homes with copper or brushed metal taps, handles and light fittings, and anyone who would rather not see a row of chargers taking up the wall.
The plate is moulded ABS in a copper finish, with the chrome insert giving the switch area its own edge. It is light in the hand and the finish runs evenly across the face. Keep it right with a dry cloth over the plate, and where fingerprints gather around the rockers, use a barely damp cloth then dry; cream cleaners and solvents will dull the copper. It carries a ten year warranty. Indoor rooms on a household supply are where it belongs, well clear of splashes. Against plain white or soft grey walls the copper does plenty on its own.

Frequently Asked
How much charging power do the USB ports give?
Each side offers 10W, shared between the two ports on that side, so charging two devices on one side splits what is available. Spread devices across both sides for the best result.
Are the USB ports the newer oval USB-C type?
No, all four are the flat rectangular USB-A type, so standard phone, tablet and speaker leads with a USB-A plug will fit straight in.
Can I switch each half off on its own?
Yes. Each side has its own rocker switch with a neon indicator, so you can turn one off and leave the other running.
What size is the plate?
The plate measures 146mm by 88mm, which is the usual footprint for a double socket, and it sits on a 47mm back box.
How do I stop the copper looking smudged?
A dry cloth over the plate deals with most marks. For sticky fingerprints, a barely damp cloth then dry, and keep cream cleaners, wire wool and solvents away from the finish.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or an outbuilding?
No. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry indoor rooms only, away from basins, showers and anywhere damp.
