How do you fit this to the wall if it's screwless?

You fit it as a normal socket with two screws and then the front plate just clips on hiding the screws. There is a notch in one corner of the front plate to enable its removal if you ever need to to get to the screws again.

Does the usb socket have a light in it? my current socket has usb ports that illuminate the whole room.

No -?nit heard of that before - is the socket got a brutish standard mark on it

This looks like some power adapter plugs might cause a problem accessing the rocker switch, can anyone confirm this is true or false?

I think you are right that in some cases this coild happen. I have tried a couple of different ones I had to hand with no problem but it coild be an issue with bulkier adapters. Only option then would be to use an extension, not ideal but a workaround.

Is it glossy or a brushed finish?

The finish is glossy. These sockets are very well made and look nice when fitted, providing you like the colour and finish that is!

Seems well made (BG Double Socket with 2x USB 3.1Amp)

These seem to be good quality with a nice black nickel finish. The smooth face plate attaches and detaches from the bottom right corner very securely. The slight irritation with the installation was that the live and neutral terminals are next to each other, top rear right, with the earths (top and bottom) on the other side. That was different positions to the existing sockets and required moving the cables around within the backbox. Just a fiddle rather than a problem. Note: the version without USBs has the live and neutral terminals on opposing sides, both with an earth terminal adjacent. The USBs work well enough and the two outputs share the maximum available stated ampage, but don't expect superfast charging from them, even if only using one output at a time.

Very nice solid sockets

Great addition to any new makeover room. They are much nicer than the white plastic ones, and with the bonus of USB... everything there days needs USB! The quality is good, with nice positive terminals for the wires to fix to. The insulation looks solid and tidy. They do need a little more space in the back box than a plane socket, but this isn't usually a massive issue, if it is you can always get spacers to move the socket off the wall a bit. The USB charging is secure and safe, it can charge from both ports at the same time, all be it within the amp rating, or can charge via one socket pretty quick. Metal is nice and clean and tidy with a good reflection and strong feel. A very good upgrade to any normal white plug, plus you can get them in other colours if you like!
