G'day! Have a squiz at your kitchen bench or the power board under your desk. What do you see? Chances are, it's a messy jumble of bulky, white charging bricks, all fighting for space to power up your phone, tablet, and headphones. It's cluttered, it's ugly, and it's a classic first-world problem.

But what if you could ditch those bricks for good and charge your devices directly from the wall? That's exactly what the Clipsal Iconic USB charger is designed for. It's a sleek, integrated, and powerful solution for any modern Aussie home.

What's the Go with the Clipsal Iconic USB?

The Clipsal Iconic USB is a module, or 'mech', from Clipsal's premium Iconic range that can be added to your powerpoints (GPOs). Its job is simple but brilliant: to give you dedicated USB ports right there on the wall, so you can plug your charging cable straight in, no bulky adapter required.

It’s a small upgrade that makes a massive difference to the convenience and look of your home.

The Features That Make It a Must-Have in a Modern Reno

This isn't just any old USB port; it's a clever, high-performance bit of kit.

Both USB-A and Super-Fast USB-C

This is the most important feature. The Clipsal Iconic USB charger is available in different configurations, giving you options for the classic rectangular USB-A port that we all know, as well as the newer, smaller, oval-shaped USB-C port.

The USB-C port is the one you really want. It's the new standard and supports fast charging for your new smartphone, tablet, or even some laptops, powering them up in a fraction of the time.

A Clean, Clutter-Free Look

By integrating the charger into the wall, you free up your valuable power sockets for other appliances. It instantly declutters your kitchen bench or bedside table, getting rid of those ugly charger bricks and creating a clean, minimalist look.

Style That Matches: The Iconic Skins

Because it's part of the Iconic range, the entire GPO, including the USB ports, is covered by a stylish, clip-on "skin." This means your USB powerpoint will have the same sleek matte finish and colour as your other Iconic switches and dimmers, creating a perfectly cohesive and high-end look throughout your home.

Where Should You Install a USB GPO?

To get the most out of them, think about where you charge your devices most often:

• The Kitchen Bench: The perfect spot for the family to charge their phones while they're home.
• The Bedside Table: A must-have in any new build or bedroom reno.
• The Home Office: Keep your desk setup clean and minimal.
• The Living Room: Install one near the couch for easy charging while you relax.

Installation: A Job for a Qualified Professional, No Exceptions

Installing a powerpoint with a Clipsal Iconic USB charger involves working with 240V mains electricity. This is absolutely not a DIY job in Australia.

This work must be carried out by a licensed electrician. A qualified professional will ensure the GPO is wired safely, the USB module is correctly installed, and the entire setup complies with all Australian standards. It's a non-negotiable for the safety of your home and your expensive devices.
