Description
Colour on the wall instead of the usual white plastic: this plate is dark green with chrome detail, and the screwless front gives it a flat, unbroken face. Two switched 13A sockets sit above a USB-A port and a USB-C port, which share 45W between them, so a phone tops up quickly and a tablet is no trouble either. Each gang has its own rocker switch, and the USB ports keep the sockets free for everything else.
We reach for this where sockets are on show and white would jar: a kitchen with painted cabinets, a study wall in a deep shade, a bedside where the lamp, the clock and the phone all want power at once. It suits anyone tired of chargers cluttering a worktop, and it earns its place in a home office where a laptop and a headset can charge while the sockets stay available. It is one we suggest when someone wants the wiring accessories to sink into the wall colour rather than stand apart from it. It belongs in dry indoor rooms running on a standard domestic supply.
Polycarbonate and metal make up the plate and its working parts, which is what you want from something handled several times a day. The chrome catches just enough light to stop the dark plate reading as a flat block. Keep it looking right with a barely damp cloth, dried off straight away; solvents and cream cleaners will dull the colour, so keep those to the worktop. It carries a ten year warranty. We like this best against heritage paint or a dark panelled wall, where a white plate always announces itself, and it is a quiet way to carry a colour scheme right across a room.

Frequently Asked
Do the two USB ports each give 45W?
No, the 45W is shared between the USB-A and the USB-C port. Charge one device and it has the full amount available; charge two and the power is divided between them.
How big is the faceplate?
It measures 146mm across and 85mm high, with a depth of 35mm behind the plate.
Can I switch each socket separately?
Yes. Each of the two gangs has its own rocker switch, so you can leave one on and the other off.
What is it made from?
Polycarbonate and metal, with a dark green colour finish and chrome detail.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or an outbuilding?
No. It is rated for indoor use only, on a domestic supply, and needs an earth connection.
How should I clean it?
A barely damp cloth, then dry it off. Avoid solvents, bleach and cream cleaners, which will take the sheen off the green.
