Description
Ocean blue reads deeper and softer than most blues, and here it runs across a flat screwless plate with no screw heads on the face. Chrome inserts frame the rocker switches and the two USB-A ports, which sit alongside the pin holes rather than occupying a plug position. It is a switched double socket rated at 13A, and the USB pair shares 15W between them, enough for a phone and a tablet or a set of earbuds on the same plate.
We fit sockets like this where chargers are constantly in use: bedsides, a kitchen worktop where the phone lives, a desk in a home office, or a hallway shelf by the door. Keeping the charging on the plate means both plug positions stay clear for a lamp, a radio or a kettle. The rockers switch each side independently, so the charging half can stay live for an overnight top-up while the other is off. It is an earthed fitting, for indoor rooms on a household supply.
The plate is moulded polycarbonate in a matt ocean blue, with the chrome detail limited to the rockers and the port surrounds, which keeps the colour from looking busy. Dust it with a dry cloth and the power off; if hand cream or cooking splashes reach it, a cloth wrung out in warm water will lift them, and nothing abrasive or solvent-based should go near the blue or the chrome. It carries a ten year warranty. We would pair it with chrome switch plates and handles in the same room, though the blue is strong enough to stand alone against pale walls or a wood worktop.

Frequently Asked
How much charging power do the USB ports give?
The two USB-A ports share 15W, so the figure is split when both are in use and available in full to a single device.
Can I still plug appliances in while charging?
Yes. The USB ports are separate from the pin holes, so both 13A plug positions remain usable.
What size is the plate?
It measures 146mm by 85mm, in the small screwless format.
Is it switched?
Yes, each side has its own rocker switch.
What is it made from?
A moulded polycarbonate plate in ocean blue, with chrome inserts around the rockers and USB ports.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only, so keep it away from splash zones and any outdoor position.
