Contract: 22/05. Settlement: 29/05. Site start: 18/10. Re: New powerpoints with USB ports for charging stuff 29May 27, 2013 9:27 pm I haven't seen any from Clipsal. I have Clipsal slimline throughout, except for one of these in the kitchen. I would have liked it to match the rest of the house but the convenience is great - my kids can't take the charger away like they used to with the plug-in chargers. The only problem I found is that the power module on the back of the power point was too big to fit in the mounting bracket that was installed in the wall, so I had planned to install one in each of my kid's rooms, but i wasn't able to (the one in the kitchen had a c-clip instead of a stud mounted bracket).

I am not sure what other specs you would expect. I have used it to charge iPhones, iPads as well as an Android tablet and sundry other devices (mobile WiFi devices, bluetooth headsets) with no problems. Re: New powerpoints with USB ports for charging stuff 32Jan 04, 2014 9:36 am Ahh nice, I can see it when I look closely, so does that mean that it's capable of supplying 3amp simultaneously? or it has two transformers in it, one a 1 amp, the second a 2 amp?

It uses an electronic power supply which is much more efficient than transformers. Re: New powerpoints with USB ports for charging stuff 36Sep 26, 2014 10:35 am Good idea we install then in some of our builds and they cost around $35 extra per point. You can also purchase several portable adaptor types from the usual suppliers. Okay sorry silly me, my wife has solves the mystery for me. It’s because the labels on the ports are all wrongly positioned by the builder hence it confuses me. 2 1411 It is true that a builder can ignore your independent inspection report as it is not part of the contractual arrangement but that is stupid because he cannot avoid fixing… 9 46978 |
