{"product_id":"2-gang-double-13a-45w-usb-c-socket-charcoal","title":"2 Gang Double 13A USB-C Socket 45W - Charcoal","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a double switched socket with charging built into the plate: 13A power on rocker switches, and two USB-C ports sharing a 45W output between them. The front is screwless, so the visible face is unbroken charcoal with no fixing heads across it. Sockets and rockers are finished in chrome, giving a little lift against the darker plate. Charcoal reads as a deep, soft grey that shifts towards near-black in low light, which is why it works so well next to dark paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe reach for this where a power point has to earn its keep: beside a bed, on a desk, along a kitchen worktop, or in a home office where phones, tablets and headphones all want charging at once. Because the charging sits on its own ports, the socket openings stay free for a lamp, a kettle or a laptop supply. The rockers let each side be switched off without anything being unplugged. It suits anyone tired of plug-in chargers hogging the surface, and it is intended for indoor rooms on a household supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plate is moulded polycarbonate, a hard-wearing plastic that holds its colour and shrugs off the odd knock better than a painted finish. Cleaning is quick: switch the socket off at the rocker, wipe the face with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away; sprays, bleach and cream cleaners will dull the charcoal, so keep them clear of it. It carries a ten year warranty. We would put this behind a bedside table or on a run of worktop where a charger would otherwise live permanently in a socket, and the chrome inserts tie it to chrome taps, handles and lamp bases already in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCharcoal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecond Colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChrome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType of Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.24KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e146mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack Box Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials Used\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate, Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax.
