Switch socket with USB port...

Ah I just wondered as I've got the system in most rooms (and workshop!). It works well. I like setting moods etc. It's also nice when you're away to have the lights go on and off etc. Oh and I also have the lights in the hallway outside the children's room set to come on at 7am Mon - Fri to help encourage them out of bed!!!

Main draw back (other than safety) for me is what happens when the power supply fails (which it inevitably will). You are replacing a whole wall socket, rather than just the adaptor...

To be fair I've had conventional sockets fail after just a year or two....

Ahh. I was talking about the ones you have a remote control to turn them on with. I have my two Vac systems on them so I van turn them on and off without moving.

Sure, but conventional socket's don't have the added complexity of a 5v power supply.

Could still be the same as mine comes with remotes as well. Can be interesting when the cat treads on one on a bedside in the night!
