1-Gang wall socket with >1a USB socket

maninthestreet

Looking for one of these, but with a 1.5A or 2.0A USB socket:

Can't seem to find any, though there are 2-gang sockets with USB sockets that are rate as 2A, but I need a 1-gang socket.

Why d you need 1.5 or 2 amps. What are you planning on charging?

It's for my DAB radio alarm clock - currently have a 3 way adapter in the socket for the radio, cordless phone and bedside light. The power adaptor for the radio has an output of 5.5v and 1000ma, but it seems to work fine on just 5v. However, it may draw 1100ma to get the same power as from the power adaptor.

That's a bit too bulky - I also need to have two other appliances plugged into the wall socket....

This one shares 2.1A across 2 sockets:-

It appears the multiple USB sockets on ebay also supply 2.1A shared.
