I fitted some of these on the living room wiring.

Screwfix ones shown as an example as I can't remember what ones I
actually fitted

Just lately one packed up all together and just today one of them feels
as if one of the USB sockets has physically given up the ghost.

I suspect these have broken as they were cheap is there any
recommendation on type to get for longevity.
Edinburgh Scotland region if applicable.


I didn't buy from Screwfix, I bought from Wickes. Not had any trouble
but the duty cycle I subject them to isn't too demanding [an Ipad,
that to be fair isn't happy to charge on a lot of usb plugin
supplies].

Screwfix do MK, and I have never yet found MK kit lacking in any way.

5 year warranty I think, I had a quick scan of the ad, I may be wrong.
