Description
A switched double socket with USB charging built into the same plate, so a phone or a tablet can be topped up without giving up either socket. The USB-A and USB-C ports share a combined 65W output, which is enough for a laptop on the C side, or for smaller devices charging together. Each 13A socket has its own chrome rocker switch, set into a screwless light grey face that sits flat and unbroken across the front with no fixing screws on show.
We reach for these where charging goes on all day: a kitchen worktop where the phone always ends up, a desk in a home office, either side of a bed, or a hall table by the front door. The light grey face reads softer than brilliant white against grey and greige paint, warm plaster shades and pale timber, which makes it a quiet choice in a room where you would rather the wiring accessories stayed in the background. It is one we suggest when the bedside charger is forever tangled up in a trailing extension lead.
The face is moulded polycarbonate with metal internals, and it is an earthed accessory made for indoor rooms running on ordinary household mains, so keep it to dry spaces well clear of a bath, a shower or a sink splash zone. For cleaning, switch the rockers off, wipe the plate with a dry or barely damp cloth, and keep kitchen sprays, polishes and scouring pads away from the plastic, as they will dull the finish. It carries a ten year warranty. Where several of these sit along one wall, the flat screwless faces and matching chrome rockers keep the run looking consistent rather than busy, which is the whole point of a screwless plate.

Frequently Asked
Can I charge a laptop from the USB-C port?
The two ports share a 65W output between them, so a USB-C laptop or tablet can draw a useful amount. Bear in mind that the more you have plugged into the USB ports, the more that 65W is divided.
How large is the plate?
The plate measures 146mm wide by 85mm tall, with 120mm fixing centres, and a 35mm box depth is recommended behind it.
Are the two sockets switched separately?
Yes. Each gang has its own rocker switch, so you can isolate one appliance and leave the other running.
Can it be used in a bathroom?
No. It is intended for dry indoor rooms only, so choose somewhere away from baths, showers and outdoor walls.
What is the best way to keep it looking clean?
A dry cloth for dust, or a barely damp one for marks around the rockers. Avoid solvents, cream cleaners and abrasive pads, which will scuff the light grey face.
