It depends on how good the idea was to begin with?Are these as good an idea as they first seem?
Why would you need to do that? It's no different to installing a shaver socket.Wire it via a DP Switched FCU with 13amp fuse, Switch off when not in use - job done, yet complies with the 17th edition.

I just don't like the idea of a small transformer that is always on regardless of any load behind a socket.
I try my best.Helpful, thank you

Infact, I'd rather a USB socket over those monstrous shaver transformers any day
ISTR that when we last discussed this here, it emerged that some of them only switched on power to the PSU when a USB plug was inserted. Or did I dream that?I just don't like the idea of a small transformer that is always on regardless of any load behind a socket.
Almost every small device I own now charges via usb. Even the remote for my Apple TV now charges via USB (admittedly like once every 2 months). More and more things are becoming chargeable by USB, and in certain situations with limited sockets, you don't necessarily want an outlet permanently taken up by a USB charger.I can't say I like the idea much, but then I'm not a great USB user either. I'd rather have "standard power" available at each outlet and just connect a power supply for whatever I need as required.
