  • I want to replace some double sockets with ones that have USB power points; will the cheapo Wilkos/Homebase ones burn down my house, or are they all much of a muchness?

  • I think (will bow to superior knowledge) that the USB aspect of the sockets are not regulated in the same way that the power sockets are, so it is worth buying from a reputable name to make sure you get non risky ones.

  • Also look out for what ampage they produce, cheap ones may only share 1.5a across the two ports, for good charging speeds you want double that really.

  • They are often deeper. Make sure you 35mm deep back boxes.
