Description
Deep midnight blue runs across the plate, with chrome rockers set into it, and the result sits far more quietly on a painted wall than white plastic ever manages. This is a switched 13A double with two USB-A charging ports beneath the pins, sharing 15W between them, so a phone and a set of earbuds can take a charge while both sockets stay free for a lamp and a laptop. The screwless front shows no fixings on its face, leaving a flat surface and a slim, even edge.
We would put one beside a bed, where the charging ports save a plug-in adaptor and leave the socket proper for a bedside light. It earns its place just as well on a kitchen worktop, at a desk, or on the wall behind a sofa where handsets and tablets tend to collect. Anyone decorating in deeper colours, or working with panelling and dark tiles, will find it easier to live with than a bright white plate. It runs on an ordinary household supply, requires an earth connection, and belongs in indoor rooms that stay dry.
Plate and rockers are moulded in polycarbonate, with the blue carried through the finish and chrome used for the insert, so the two tones read clearly without either one shouting. It stays looking right with a wipe from a barely damp cloth, dried off afterwards; kitchen sprays, cream cleaners and solvents will haze the moulding, so keep them off the face entirely. It carries a ten year warranty. We tend to reach for it in rooms where the ironmongery is already chrome and the walls have gone darker, and it holds its own next to brass or nickel fittings if that is the way the rest of the room leans.
