Description
A pair of switched 13A sockets sits alongside four USB-A charging ports on one screwless plate, so phones and tablets can charge without a charger plug taking up a socket. The ports are grouped in pairs, with each side sharing 10W. Rocker switches control the mains sockets, and a neon in the insert shows when a socket is live, handy where the fitting sits low or partly behind furniture. The plate is platinum silver with a chrome insert, a softer grey than polished chrome on its own.
We would fit this where power is always in demand and space is short, so a bedside table, a kitchen worktop that also has to run a kettle, a desk in a home office, or a hallway shelf where visitors' phones end up. It saves the familiar annoyance of a charger plug hogging half a double socket, and it keeps trailing multi-way adaptors off the floor. Keep it to dry indoor rooms on an ordinary domestic supply; a bathroom or an unheated outbuilding is not the place for it. The screwless plate suits rooms that have already been finished to a high standard, where a visible screw head would jar.
The plate is moulded polycarbonate, with the platinum silver finish carried across the face and the front showing no visible screws. It carries a ten year warranty. For cleaning, a dry cloth over the plate is enough most weeks; if fingermarks build up around the ports, use a barely damp cloth and nothing solvent-based, and let it dry fully before use. We stock it on its own rather than as part of a wider range, so treat it as the socket you put where charging actually happens and match the rest of the room's metalwork to the chrome insert.
