Like it or not, homes are getting “smarter” and people’s needs are changing. Devices such as USB wall plate charges might have once–even recently–seemed like a novelty, but are now a very practical and in demand accessory. RCA has dubbed itself as the maker of the original wall plate charger. RCA certainly has the variety and boasts some patented designs. Some of its offerings even include illumination built in the wall plate. This can function as a nightlight or just make it easier to find the plate under a cabinet.
RCA has many offerings, but the WP2UNLW is an example of a wall plate with a nightlight. It also features two USB ports and a standard outlet. The USB delivers 2.1 amps, so it’s perfect for tablets. An automatic light sensor controls the LED light. This plate retails for approximately $25.
The bottom of the two USB ports delivers 2.1 amps, so that is used for tablets. When two phones are plugged in both USB ports are used, of course, and the charger will shut off as a safety measure if more than 2.1 is being drawn.
