Description
A double socket with charging built in, so a phone or laptop lead goes straight into the plate rather than into an adaptor. Both sockets are switched, each with its own rocker, and rated at 13A. Alongside them sit USB-C ports sharing up to 45W, enough to keep a laptop topped up while a handset charges. The plate is a screwless flat design in orange, with chrome inserts around the pins and switches for contrast.
We would reach for this where a socket has to be found rather than hidden: a workshop bench, a garage, a utility room, or a plant room where orange marks out a particular circuit at a glance. It suits bold kitchens and studios too, and it earns its place beside a desk or a bedside, where the USB-C ports free up the sockets for a lamp or a monitor. In a spare room it means a visitor can charge without borrowing an adaptor. It is an indoor fitting for a household supply, and it needs an earth connection.
The plate is moulded ABS, light in the hand and warm in tone against the chrome, and the screwless front keeps the face clear so nothing interrupts the colour. Switch the sockets off before you go near them with a cloth, then wipe over with a barely damp one and dry it straight away; polishes, kitchen sprays and solvents will dull the moulding, so keep them off it. It carries a ten year warranty. We like it against plain walls where it can be the one bit of colour in a room, or run through a workshop so every charging point reads the same.

Frequently Asked
How much power do the USB-C ports deliver?
Up to 45W, shared between the two ports. One device on its own can draw the full amount, while two plugged in together split it.
How big is the plate?
It measures 146mm across by 85mm high.
Are the sockets switched?
Yes. Each one has its own rocker switch, so you can isolate a plug top without pulling it out.
What is the plate made from?
Moulded ABS in orange, with chrome inserts around the pin apertures and switches, and no visible screws on the face.
Can it be used in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only, on a domestic supply, and requires an earth connection.
