Description
A pair of switched 13A power points sit on one flat screwless plate, with a USB-A port and a USB-C port set below them and up to 45W shared between the two. The plate is light grey with chrome detail, and the rocker switches give the click you want when you are turning off a kettle or an iron. Because the charging is built in, the sockets stay free for appliances rather than being taken up by a plug-in charger.
We reach for this one in kitchens, home offices and bedsides, anywhere phones, tablets and headphones compete with the toaster or the lamp for room. The USB-C side suits newer phones and laptops, while USB-A keeps older cables useful. It works as well for a full rewire as for swapping a single tired plate, and the light grey reads softly against pale walls, grey cabinetry and painted timber without the glare of gloss white. It is a sensible choice for a guest room too, where visitors arrive with a bag of cables and nothing to plug them into. Indoors only, on a standard household supply.
The moulded body is polycarbonate with metal within, and the screwless plate clips over its base so nothing breaks up the face. Wipe it now and again with a barely damp cloth and dry it off; keep kitchen sprays and cream cleaners away from the plate, since they can dull the finish over time. It carries a ten year warranty. If you are running one plate style through a room, we would keep the switches and sockets in the same family so the walls do not look pieced together.

Frequently Asked
Can both USB ports be used at the same time?
Yes. The 45W output is shared between the USB-A and USB-C ports, so charging is a little slower when both are in use than when one is working alone.
How big is the faceplate?
It measures 146mm across by 85mm tall.
Will the USB-C port charge a laptop?
It will keep many small laptops, tablets and phones topped up, though a larger machine that came with its own high output charger is better served by that charger.
What is it made from?
A polycarbonate moulding with metal parts inside, finished in light grey with chrome detail. Each of the two sockets has its own rocker switch and is rated at 13A.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is intended for dry rooms such as kitchens, bedrooms, hallways and studies, not for bathrooms or anywhere exposed to splashing.
How should I clean it?
A dry or barely damp cloth is all it needs. Avoid solvents, abrasive pastes and antibacterial sprays, which can mark the plate.
