Description
A double 13A socket on a flat screwless plate, finished in soft champagne gold with chrome inserts around the pin holes and the rockers. The two gang layout puts two switched sockets side by side on one long plate, each with its own rocker so power can be cut to a lamp or a kettle without pulling the plug out. The plate is moulded polycarbonate rather than pressed metal, giving a smooth even face with no fixing screws to interrupt it.
We reach for this where wiring accessories are on show rather than hidden behind furniture: above a kitchen worktop, at a dressing table, either side of a bed, or on the wall behind a desk. The warm gold sits well against off-white paint, pale timber and brushed brass taps or handles, while the chrome detailing keeps the front from looking heavy. It suits a house where the switch plates have already moved away from plain white and the power points now need to follow. The rockers mean a table lamp or a phone charger can be turned off at the wall, which is useful in a bedroom.
It requires an earth connection, and it belongs in dry indoor rooms on a normal household supply rather than a workshop that gets damp. For cleaning, a dry cloth is usually enough; where fingerprints gather around the rockers, use a barely damp cloth and dry it straight after, and keep solvents, metal polish and cream cleaners well away, as they will dull the champagne surface. It carries a ten year warranty. Run it with matching screwless plates and a room reads as one warm metal thread rather than white plastic dotted along the wall.

Frequently Asked
How big is the plate?
The front plate measures 146mm long by 88mm high, so it is the longer double format rather than a square one. It weighs around 0.16kg.
Are both sockets switched?
Yes. Each of the two gangs has its own rocker switch, so either socket can be turned off at the wall independently.
What is it made from?
The plate is moulded polycarbonate in a champagne gold finish, with chrome inserts on the socket faces and rockers.
Can it go in a bathroom or outside?
No. It is rated IP20, which means dry indoor rooms only. Keep it out of bathroom zones, wet areas and any external wall.
How do I keep the gold finish looking right?
Dust it with a dry soft cloth and deal with marks using a cloth wrung out almost dry. Avoid abrasive pastes, metal polishes and any solvent-based cleaner.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a ten year warranty from the manufacturer.
