Description
Plum is a deep purple, and here it wraps a screwless plate finished with chrome rockers and chrome surrounds to the charging ports. It is a switched double socket rated 13A, with two USB-C ports that share 24W between them, so a phone and a tablet can take a charge while both power points stay free for a lamp, a kettle or a laptop charger. The front face is flat, with no screw heads breaking it up, which keeps the plate reading as a single clean shape on the wall.
We like this sort of plate in rooms where the wall is already doing something: a painted bedroom, a papered study, a hallway carrying a strong colour above the skirting board. It earns its keep beside a bed, on a kitchen worktop where the toaster and the tablet compete for space, and behind a desk where cables gather. The rocker switches mean chargers can be turned off at the wall rather than left plugged in and live, which is the small habit most people want from a socket in a bedroom.
The plate is moulded ABS rather than metal, so the plum colour runs through the front instead of sitting on top as a coating that can chip at the edges. Cleaning wants nothing more than a dry cloth drawn across the face; if the ports gather dust, a puff of air is kinder than anything damp, and kitchen sprays are best kept off the finish altogether. It is made for dry indoor rooms and a household supply. It carries a ten year warranty. Paired with plain white or chrome plates elsewhere in the room, it works nicely as the only coloured element on the wall.

Frequently Asked
How much power do the USB ports give?
The two USB-C ports share 24W between them, so a single device draws the full amount and two devices split it. That is ample for phones, earbuds and most tablets.
Are the sockets switched?
Yes, each of the 13A sockets has its own rocker switch, so you can isolate a charger or an appliance without pulling the plug.
What is the plate made of?
Moulded ABS in a plum finish, with chrome rockers and chrome trim to the ports.
Will it fit a standard back box?
It is sized for a standard double back box, and the plate calls for a box depth of 35mm.
How do I keep the finish looking right?
A dry cloth is enough. Avoid solvents, cream cleaners and antibacterial sprays, which can dull a moulded finish over time.
Can it be used in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry indoor rooms only.
