Description
Colour is the point here. The plate comes in a strong orange with chrome rockers, and the screwless front keeps the face clean. It is a two gang switched socket with a USB-A and a USB-C port sitting between them, so a phone or a tablet can charge while the sockets stay free for the kettle or a lamp. Each socket is rated at 13A, and the USB ports share a 15W supply, so a port charging on its own draws the full amount.
We fit these where a socket is on show rather than hidden behind furniture: kitchen worktops, a desk in a home office, a bedside run, a workshop bench, a child's room where colour is welcome. They suit painted walls and tiled splashbacks particularly well, and they suit anyone who has settled on a colour scheme and would rather not break it with white plastic. The ports earn their keep at bedsides and desks, where plug-in chargers otherwise occupy a socket that something else needs.
Moulded polycarbonate and metal make up the build, and the rockers give a firm click rather than a vague one. For cleaning, switch off first, then wipe the plate with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away; keep sprays and kitchen cleaners away from the port openings, since they can creep inside. It is wired to ordinary household mains and belongs in dry rooms indoors, not in a shower room or an unheated outbuilding. It carries a ten year warranty. Orange works hardest when it is the only colour on the wall, so we would keep the paint plain and let the socket do the talking.

Frequently Asked
Do both USB ports deliver 15W each?
No. The 15W output is shared between the USB-A and the USB-C port. Use one port alone and it takes the full 15W; use both together and the power is split.
What size is the front plate?
The plate measures 146mm wide by 85mm high, with a projection of 35mm from front to back.
Are the sockets switched?
Yes, each of the two sockets has its own rocker switch, so either side can be isolated without unplugging.
What is the chrome part of the finish?
The rockers carry a chrome finish, which reads as a bright line against the orange plate.
Can I use it in a bathroom or garage?
It is rated IP20 and made for indoor use on a domestic supply, so keep it to dry, heated rooms rather than wet or exposed spaces.
How should I clean around the USB ports?
Switch the power off, then use a dry or barely damp cloth on the plate only. Never spray cleaner at the ports or push anything into them.
