Description
Pink is not a colour you see often on a power point, and that is rather the point here. The plate is a flat screwless design with no screw heads on show, so the front reads as a clean rectangle against the wall. It is a two gang 13A socket, with a chrome rocker switch to each socket and chrome inserts framing the pin holes. The plate spans 146mm, which keeps it tidy where wall space is short.
We would fit this where a plain white plate would look like an afterthought: a child's bedroom, a utility room with painted cabinetry, a home studio, a dressing table wall, or the counter of a salon or small shop. Each half switches on its own, so a lamp or a small appliance can stay plugged in and still be turned off at the wall. The rockers are broad enough to find with a knuckle in a dim room, and the chrome catches just enough light to read at a glance.
The plate is moulded polycarbonate, finished in pink with chrome detailing on the rockers and inserts, and it is light in the hand for its size. To keep it looking right, wipe it over with a soft cloth barely damp with water and dry it off straight away; household sprays, cream cleaners and solvents can dull or mark the moulding, so keep them well away from the face. It needs an earth connection, and it is meant for dry rooms indoors running on a household supply rather than anywhere damp or outdoors. It carries a ten year warranty. Colour works hardest when it is repeated, so where several sockets sit along one wall we would keep them all in the same pink rather than mixing in a white plate halfway down.

Frequently Asked
