Would a conduit box be smaller than a standard single-socket surface plate?
Anyway, I'll investigate - thanks for the thought.

I gave you the size a few messages ago !

Conduit circular box is 50mm (2 inch).

That's the mounting hole distance.
Box itself is nearer 2.5", and accessories upto 3", which isn't
much less than a regular square faceplate.
