Description
A neat black plug top with a single USB output, for the small charging jobs that crop up in a room you have just relamped. It gives 5V at 1A, which is enough for a phone left overnight, a bedside clock, a USB reading light or the sort of small item that lives on a shelf and needs a tidy supply of its own. At 17mm across, the body is slim enough that it does not crowd the second socket on a twin plate. It is double insulated, and there is no dimming.
We would pick it for bedrooms, home offices and spare rooms, where the sockets are already busy and a chunky charger tends to block half of them. It suits holiday lets and guest rooms too, since it hands a visitor somewhere to charge without them hunting through a drawer. Landlords and anyone fitting out a small flat often buy more than one, and we keep it in black so it stays quiet against dark switchplates and painted walls.
The casing is black throughout, in a plain finish that sits happily next to white or metal socket fronts. It weighs very little, so it lifts out cleanly when a room is cleared or a lead is packed away. Looking after it asks almost nothing: unplug it first, then run a dry cloth over the casing and around the USB port to lift dust, and never let it stand in damp. Keep it to dry rooms indoors, well away from bathrooms, garages and porches. It carries a three year warranty. The same range gives us a clear plug top, cable grips in black and in clear, and E27 lampholders in both black and white, which is useful when you are making up a flex or a bedside lead and want the parts to agree with each other.

Frequently Asked
What output does it give?
One USB port, delivering 5V at 1A. That covers phones, bedside clocks, small USB lights and similar low draw items.
How big is it?
It measures 48mm long, 17mm wide and 44mm high, and weighs about 25g, so it stays well clear of the neighbouring socket on a twin plate.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outside?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only, so keep it to bedrooms, offices, kitchens and hallways rather than bathrooms, sheds or covered porches.
Will it charge a tablet?
It will supply power, but at 1A a larger tablet will charge slowly. For phones and small accessories it is well matched.
Is it dimmable?
No, it is non-dimmable and should not be run through a dimmer or an electronic switch.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, it carries a three year warranty.
