Description
A pair of rocker-switched 13A sockets sits behind a flat screwless plate in dark green, with a chrome insert around the switches and a neon indicator to show when each side is live. Four USB-A charging ports are set into the face, worked in pairs, so a phone and a tablet can be charged at once while both sockets stay free for the kettle, the lamp or a laptop supply.
We reach for sockets like this where charging goes on all day: a bedside table, a desk in a home office, the end of a kitchen worktop, or a teenager's room where cables multiply. Each pair of USB ports shares 10W, which suits phones, headphones, e-readers and controllers rather than a large laptop. The rocker switches let either side be turned off without anything being unplugged, which is handy over a work surface. It is meant for indoor rooms running on a household supply.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate, which takes colour well and holds the dark green evenly across the face, and the screwless front closes over its frame so nothing breaks up the surface. Keep it looking right with an occasional wipe using a dry or barely damp cloth, power off first, and keep kitchen sprays and abrasive creams well away from the finish. It carries a ten year warranty. Dark green reads as a deliberate choice against pale plaster, wood panelling or a painted splashback, and the chrome detail picks up chrome taps and door handles nearby. We would use it as the working socket in a room where the other plates have been chosen to match.

Frequently Asked
How many USB ports are there, and how much power do they give?
There are four USB-A ports, arranged as two pairs. Each pair shares 10W, so charging is best suited to phones, tablets, headphones and similar small devices.
Can I use the sockets and the USB ports at the same time?
Yes. The USB ports are separate from the two 13A sockets, so plugs and cables can be in use together.
What size is the plate?
The plate measures 146mm wide by 88mm high, with a back box depth of 47mm.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20, which means dry indoor rooms only.
How should I clean the dark green finish?
Switch the power off and wipe with a soft dry cloth, or one very slightly damp for marks. Avoid solvents, cream cleaners and anything abrasive, as they will dull the colour.
Are the switches indicated?
Yes, there is a neon insert so you can see at a glance which side is switched on.
