Description
Charging clutter has a way of taking over a bedside table, and this is our answer: a double 13A socket with four USB-A ports built into the same plate, so chargers no longer occupy a socket you wanted for a lamp. Both sockets are switched by rockers, each with a neon indicator that shows at a glance when power is live. The ports sit in pairs, and each pair shares 10W between them, which suits phones, e-readers and headphones. The plate is screwless, with a flat light grey face and a chrome insert.
Bedsides and desks are the obvious homes for it, and we fit them either side of a bed in guest rooms so nobody arrives hunting for an adaptor. It works just as well on a kitchen worktop for a tablet propped up with a recipe, in a hallway by the front door where keys and torches are charged, or in a study where a laptop, a monitor and a phone all want feeding. The light grey plate reads softly against pale walls and painted joinery, and the chrome insert gives it a little brightness without shouting.
The plate and rockers are moulded polycarbonate in light grey, and the screwless front clips on to leave a clean face with no screw heads on show. For cleaning, a dry cloth over the plate is plenty; if fingermarks gather round the rockers, switch off at the consumer unit first and use a barely damp cloth, then let it dry before switching back on. Keep polishes and kitchen sprays away from the ports. It is meant for dry rooms indoors on an ordinary household supply, and it carries a ten year warranty. We find the light grey and chrome pairing easy to repeat round a room without it turning cold.

Frequently Asked
How many USB ports does it have, and how is the power divided?
There are four USB-A ports in total, arranged as a pair beside each socket, with 10W shared between the two ports on each side.
What size is the plate and how deep does it sit?
The plate measures 146mm by 88mm, and the fitting has a depth of 47mm behind the face.
Can each socket be switched independently?
Yes. Each of the two 13A sockets has its own rocker switch with a neon indicator, so you can leave one live and the other off.
What is the plate made from, and what colour are the details?
It is moulded polycarbonate in light grey, with a chrome insert framing the switch area.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or a garage?
It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry indoor rooms such as bedrooms, studies, kitchens and hallways rather than damp or splash-prone spaces.
How long is the warranty?
It carries a ten year warranty.
