Description
Charging without giving up a socket is the point here. USB-A is the familiar rectangular port, so existing cables and older chargers still work, and the two ports share a 15W output. Alongside them sit switched 13A sockets with rocker controls, so a phone, a tablet and the kettle can all be served from the same plate. The screwless front gives a smooth, flat face with no screw heads on show, finished in light grey with chrome inserts.
We would put this where a charger normally lives full time: a bedside, a desk, a kitchen worktop, the shelf in a hall where keys and headphones end up. It suits households running several devices, and it saves the plug adaptors that creep along a worktop, leaving both sockets free for a lamp and a laptop. Light grey is a useful middle ground in rooms where white plates look stark and black looks heavy, and it settles well against painted walls, grey cabinetry and warmer timber. It belongs indoors only, running on an ordinary household supply.
The plate is moulded polycarbonate rather than metal, which keeps it light in the hand, and the chrome inserts give the rockers and the port surround a little contrast against the grey. Keep it clean with a dry cloth, or one barely damp on the plate alone, and keep sprays and polishes away from the ports and the switch openings. It carries a ten year warranty. We stock the screwless version because it reads as a single clean piece on the wall, with nothing to catch the eye but the rockers, and it sits comfortably next to matt grey joinery and brushed metal ironmongery.

Frequently Asked
What size is the faceplate?
The plate measures 146mm by 85mm, and it is a 35mm depth type. It weighs 0.21kg.
How quickly will it charge my phone?
The two USB-A ports draw on a shared 15W output, so charging is slower when both are in use at once. It is well suited to phones, e-readers and headphones; a laptop is better served from its own adaptor in one of the 13A sockets.
Are the sockets switched?
Yes. Both 13A sockets are switched, using rocker controls on the plate.
What is it made of, and how should I clean it?
The plate is moulded polycarbonate in light grey, with chrome inserts. A dry cloth is enough for dust and fingermarks; avoid solvents, abrasive creams and anything wet near the USB ports.
Can it go in a bathroom or an outbuilding?
No. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms on a domestic supply, so it is not suitable for bathrooms zones or anywhere exposed to damp.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a ten year manufacturer's warranty.
