Plastic dryline box fitted into a timber stud wall? Metal box mounted on a noggin in a timber stud wall?

Granted not high risk of burning the place down, provided bits of burning plastic don't fall onto the carpet. But there would no doubt be smoke damage to decoration and replacing the possibly burnt/damaged fixed wiring might be interesting.

They do not sound to me like they are any better or sometimes as good as the wall warts, so I think I'll shelve that idea. I came across a sofa the other day with them built into the hinged arm rest. I guess they will appear all over the place but the underlying driving hardware is still going to be the el cheapo Chinese switch mode psu I suppose. Brian

Well, there's a nice business opportunity for the UK now free of EU shackles. Become the world's supplier of high quality wall warts. And all the other 'el cheapo Chinese' rubbish everyone apparently hates so much.

I've now managed to get an AM radio beside one of my mains strips which incorporates a couple of USB supply sockets.

Listening to 909. I note some interference when I'm about 18" away from the strip. The level of that interference is unchanged if charging happens or not.
