Description
Ocean Blue gives this double socket a deep, sea-toned face, with chrome rockers and chrome inserts lifting it well away from the usual white plastic. It is a switched 13A double socket with four USB-A charging ports, 10W shared between the pair on each side, so a phone and a tablet can sit on charge together. Neon indicators show at a glance which side is live, and the screwless plate reads as a single clean surface with no screw heads breaking up the colour.
We would fit this beside a bed, where chargers otherwise crowd everything behind the table, and on a kitchen worktop or a desk where laptops, speakers and cameras all want feeding at once. It suits homes where the switch plates are treated as part of the scheme rather than something to look past: painted panelling, a colour-drenched hallway, a teenager's room that wants a bit of character. Because the charging is built into the plate, you free up a socket for something larger, which is often the difference between a tidy worktop and a tangle of adaptors.
The plate is moulded in ABS and finished in Ocean Blue, with the chrome rockers and inserts picking up other metalwork in the room. For cleaning, a dry microfibre cloth over the face keeps the colour looking even, and a barely damp cloth will shift kitchen film; keep solvents, spray cleaners and anything abrasive off it, as they will dull the finish. It is meant for indoor rooms running on a normal household supply. It carries a ten year warranty. We like it paired with brushed chrome switches elsewhere on the wall, so the blue stays the one piece of colour and the rest of the ironmongery sits quietly behind it.
