Description
A double 13A socket with charging built in, finished in warm grey with a chrome insert framing the switches and ports. Each side is switched with its own rocker and carries a neon indicator, so a quick glance tells you what is live and what is off. Four USB-A ports are set into the plate, keeping phones, earbuds and tablets charged without tying up a plug. The face is screwless, which keeps the front smooth and free of visible screw heads. It is one of the tidier ways to add charging to a room without adding another gadget on the worktop.
We fit sockets like this where a single power point is always over-subscribed: beside a bed, along a kitchen worktop, at a desk, or on a hall table where everything gets charged overnight. The built-in charging means the sockets stay free for a lamp or a kettle, and there is no adaptor to lose. It suits family rooms and home offices, and it is a sensible swap in a guest room where visitors arrive with cables but nothing to plug them into. Keep it to indoor rooms running off a household supply.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate with a chrome insert behind it for contrast, and the rockers move with a firm click. Keep it clean by switching the sockets off and wiping the plate with a dry cloth; skip cream cleaners, sprays and anything solvent-based, as they will dull the moulding. It carries a ten year warranty. Warm grey is the quieter alternative to white against painted plaster and pale tiling, and we would run it through a room with brushed or chrome ironmongery for a match.

Frequently Asked
How much charging power do the USB ports give?
Each side provides 10W, shared between the two ports on that side. That is comfortable for phones, earbuds and tablets, though it is not intended as a fast charger for laptops.
Can I use the sockets and the USB ports at the same time?
Yes. The two 13A sockets and the four USB-A ports work independently, so a lamp can stay plugged in while phones charge.
Are the two sockets switched separately?
Yes, each side has its own rocker switch with a neon indicator to show when that side is on.
What size is the front plate?
It measures 146mm by 88mm, and the moulded plate has a shallow, flat profile that sits close to the wall.
Can it go in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry indoor rooms only.
