Description
A pair of switched 13A sockets sits on a single charcoal plate, with a screwless front that keeps the face flat and even. The charcoal is a deep grey that reads closer to soft black in low light, and it is set against chrome on the rockers and inserts so the working parts catch the eye without shouting. Each socket switches on its own, which is useful where one appliance stays plugged in and the other comes and goes.
We reach for this where a white power point would look like an afterthought: dark kitchen cabinetry, a painted chimney breast, a wall in a warm grey, or a desk run in a home office where the plate is in plain view all day. It works just as well beside a bed, above a worktop or behind a television, and the separate rockers make it easy to cut power to a lamp or a charger without pulling the plug out. The price is kept sensible so it can be repeated through a whole room rather than saved for one wall.
The plate and inserts are moulded in polycarbonate, a hard-wearing plastic that shrugs off knocks and holds its colour in daylight better than a painted finish. Cleaning asks very little: a dry or barely damp cloth across the plate, and nothing abrasive or solvent-based near the rockers, since both will dull the surface. It is meant for dry rooms indoors on an ordinary household supply, so keep it clear of shower zones, garages and anywhere it might be splashed. It carries a ten year warranty. Alongside darker joinery and metal accents the charcoal and chrome look intentional rather than merely practical, and the smooth front lets it settle quietly behind furniture or hold its place on an open wall.

Frequently Asked
Are both sockets switched?
Yes. Each of the two sockets has its own rocker switch, so you can isolate one appliance while the other stays live.
What size is the plate?
The plate measures 146mm across and 88mm high, with a projection of 25mm from the wall face.
What back box depth does it need?
It is designed for a 25mm back box depth.
What colours are on the front?
The plate is charcoal, a deep grey, with chrome rockers and inserts.
Can it go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry indoor rooms only, so it should not be used in a bathroom, shower area or outdoors.
How should I clean it?
Wipe the polycarbonate plate with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid scouring pads, cream cleaners and solvents, all of which can mark the finish.
