Nothing so monstrous as the UK plug; something like the US 2-prong plug in size would be good. --- End quote --- And then mankind will progress to the next stage: NEMA 5-15. |

You just don't seem to get it, or worse, just choose to ignore it as inconvenient to your argument grumpy rant! Get off your silly UK plug grudge and start understanding the technical issues of what you are proposing (power distribution at USB levels rather than mains around the house). |

--- Quote from: mendip_discovery on October 16, 2023, 05:34:21 pm ---I have a usb socket on one outlet and I got rather annoyed as I couldn't find one that supports fast charging ports, they all seemed to be just the standard usb port that cant power much other that the fruit based products. It's only there for the oldies to charge thier phones and watches as there was too many usb chargers floating about making a mess in the kitchen. --- End quote --- Not sure of UK availability (with your plug configuration maybe it's not feasible to fit everything necessary into an outlet?) but I just got this one to try. Haven't installed it yet. I have a number of the regular 2.4A USB-A outlet combos. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BQ6VDH68 |

I'm disappointed that the engineers couldn't design a safe plug without making it hideously bulky and awkward. |
