Description
Power and charging share one plate here. It is a switched double socket rated 13A, with USB-C charging ports set below the plug openings and sharing up to 45W between them. The ports charge directly, so no plug-in adaptor is needed. Rocker switches sit alongside, so either half can be turned off at the plate. The screwless cool grey front is flat and unbroken, with chrome rockers picking out the switch positions.
Bedsides are the obvious home for it, where a lamp and a clock can stay plugged in while a phone charges from the USB-C side rather than borrowing a socket. It works just as well on a kitchen worktop, beside a desk, or in a spare room where guests arrive with a cable and nothing to put it in. We reach for it in refurbishments where the socket count is fixed but the charging demand keeps growing, and the cool grey suits painted walls in the softer greys and off-whites without vanishing into them.
The plate is moulded polycarbonate, a hard-wearing plastic that holds its colour and shrugs off the knocks a worktop or bedhead brings. Cool grey reads as a quiet mid-tone and sits comfortably against chrome, brushed steel or a plain white surround. Cleaning asks little: switch the rockers off, wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth, and keep solvents, polishes and cream cleaners well away from the plastic and the port mouths. It carries a ten year warranty. Indoors, on a household mains supply, is where it belongs. If you are working through a whole room, keeping the same screwless profile across switches and sockets gives the tidiest run of plates.

Frequently Asked
How big is the plate?
It measures 146mm across and 85mm high, with a depth of 35mm.
Can both USB-C ports be used at the same time?
Yes. The two ports share up to 45W between them, so charging is split when both are in use and a single device can draw the full amount.
Are the 13A sockets switched?
Yes, each half has its own rocker switch, so you can isolate an appliance without unplugging it.
What is it made of, and what are the two colours?
The plate is moulded polycarbonate in cool grey, with chrome rockers marking the switches.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or an outbuilding?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only, so a bedroom, kitchen, hallway or office rather than a shower room, utility exposed to damp, or anywhere outdoors.
Will household cleaning sprays harm the finish?
They can. Use a dry or barely damp cloth and avoid solvents, polishes and cream cleaners, which can dull the plate and creep into the port openings.
