Description
A 13A double socket for rooms where a white plastic plate would look like an afterthought. The front is screwless, so the face reads as a single flat panel with nothing to catch the eye at the corners, and the moss green is soft and earthy rather than bright. Chrome inserts frame the pin apertures and pick out the rocker switches, giving the colour something crisp to sit against. Both sides switch independently, on the longer two gang plate.
We reach for coloured plates in kitchens, snugs and home offices, anywhere the walls are already painted and a stark white socket would jump out of the scheme. Moss green settles well against off-whites, clay and stone shades, and it goes quiet on panelling or a deeper green wall. It suits a worktop run where the kettle and toaster stay plugged in, a desk with a monitor and a charger, or a bedside serving a lamp and a phone. Indoors and on a household supply is where it belongs, so bathrooms and outbuildings want something else entirely.
The plate is moulded ABS with chrome detailing, and it carries a ten year warranty. Cleaning wants very little: wipe the face with a barely damp cloth, dry it off, and keep kitchen sprays and cream cleaners away from both the green and the chrome, since they will dull one and mark the other. Screws are absent from the front, so there is nothing to touch up or straighten later. We would use it more than once in a room, repeating the green across the sockets and switches on a single wall rather than letting one coloured plate stand alone among white ones.

Frequently Asked
How big is the plate?
It measures 146mm long by 88mm high, with a 25mm depth to the plate and back box, and it weighs 0.16kg.
Are both sockets switched?
Yes. Each side has its own rocker switch, so you can turn one appliance off without unplugging the other.
What is it made from?
The plate and body are moulded ABS in moss green, with chrome inserts around the switches and pin apertures.
Can it go in a bathroom or an outbuilding?
No. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms on a domestic supply, so keep it to living spaces, kitchens, hallways and bedrooms.
How should I clean the green finish?
A barely damp cloth followed by a dry one. Avoid solvents, kitchen degreasers and cream cleaners, as they can dull the colour and mark the chrome.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a ten year warranty.
