Description
Charcoal reads warmer than plain black, and on a screwless flat plate it settles quietly into a wall rather than drawing the eye. This is a switched double 13A socket with USB-A ports set into the face, so a handset can charge without occupying either power point. The USB side gives up to 15W shared across both ports, which is enough for a phone overnight with a second device alongside it. Rocker switches control the sockets, picked out in chrome, and the front carries no visible fixings.
We stock sockets like this for the places where charging happens every day: beside a bed, along a kitchen worktop, at a desk in a study, or in a hallway where everything gets topped up before the morning. It suits anyone tired of hunting for a plug adaptor, and it works well in a room where the switches and sockets have been chosen as a set rather than left to whatever was there before. Charcoal sits comfortably against grey, off-white and darker painted walls, and it looks well beside timber.
The plate and its mouldings are polycarbonate, a hard-wearing plastic that holds its colour and resists everyday knocks, while the chrome detail lifts the front against the darker grey. It is meant for dry rooms inside the house on an ordinary domestic supply, so not for a damp garage or anywhere outdoors. To keep it looking right, wipe the plate with a dry or barely damp cloth, and keep cream cleaners, kitchen sprays and solvents away from it, as they can dull the surface over time. It carries a ten year warranty. Kept in charcoal across a room, switches and sockets stop competing with everything else on the wall.

Frequently Asked
What size is the faceplate?
It measures 146mm by 85mm, with a plate depth of 35mm.
How much power do the USB ports give?
Up to 15W, shared between the two USB-A ports rather than 15W each. Charging two devices at once will be slower than charging one.
What colours are on the front?
The plate is charcoal, with chrome inserts on the switch area.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outside?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only, so a bathroom, a shower room or any external wall is unsuitable.
How should I clean it?
A dry cloth for dust, or a barely damp one for marks, then dry it off. Avoid abrasive creams and household solvents.
Are the sockets switched?
Yes, they are controlled by rocker switches on the plate.
