Description
Copper across the faceplate, with chrome rockers set into it and no visible screws to break the line. This is a double 13A socket with USB-A charging built into the plate, so a phone or a tablet can be topped up without a plug taking a socket out of use. Each half is switched with its own rocker, and the USB-A ports share 15W between them. It is one we reach for when a room needs charging capacity without a trailing adaptor.
We would fit this behind a bedside table, in a home office, or along a kitchen worktop where chargers otherwise clutter the surface. Because the charging sits in the plate itself, the sockets stay free for lamps, a kettle or whatever else the room actually needs. The screwless plate suits rooms where wiring accessories are meant to be seen rather than hidden, and copper sits happily against warm paint, oak, exposed brick and darker cabinetry. Guest rooms and teenagers' bedrooms benefit most, since that is usually where cables multiply fastest.
The plate is moulded ABS carrying the copper finish, with the chrome insert giving a little contrast around the rockers and the socket faces. The finish runs right to the edges, and the flat, screwless face means there is less for dust to settle into. A dry cloth is all it usually needs; where fingerprints gather near the switches, use a barely damp cloth and dry it off properly, keeping cream cleaners and anything gritty well away. It carries a ten year warranty. Use it indoors, on a standard household supply. If the room already has copper in its light fittings, handles or taps, this picks up the same tone rather than competing with it.

Frequently Asked
How big is the faceplate?
It measures 146mm wide by 85mm tall, with a 35mm depth behind the plate.
What kind of USB ports does it have?
Two USB-A ports, rated at 15W shared between them, so the available power is split when both are in use.
Are the sockets individually switched?
Yes. Each of the two 13A sockets has its own rocker switch on the plate.
How should I clean the copper finish?
A dry, soft cloth for everyday dust. For marks around the rockers, a barely damp cloth followed by a thorough dry. Avoid cream cleaners, solvents and any abrasive pad, as these will dull the finish.

Moulded ABS, finished in copper with a chrome insert.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a ten year warranty.
