SmartStrip

Do you realize that phantoms live in your home and steal your power?
We're not talking about ghosts and life force here, but about all the
gadgets and devices in the modern home or office that draw electricity
even when they are turned "off"--this is known as phantom load. Phantom
loads occur with pretty much any device you have that has a "wall wart"
power supply or that has a clock or light that stays on after you
switch it off. Computer peripherals like printers, scanners, speakers,
and monitors are all likely candidates. Elements of your entertainment
center like DVD players, game systems (which can use up to 23 watts
when "off"!), and amplifiers are common phantoms as well. Click here to see a chart that shows the phantom loads (or "standby power") for many common appliances.
With
the Smart Strip, you can exorcise the phantoms in your home or office
with ease and reduce wasted electricity. The Smart Strip LCG has 10
outlets: one is the "control" outlet, six switch on and off by sensing
current to the "control," and three outlets are "constant hot" and
always receive power. Plug the computer into "control" and the monitor,
printer, scanner, and USB hub into the switched outlets--now when turn
off the computer, those other gadgets will draw no power at all. Plug
the TV into "control" and use it to automatically switch off the DVD
player, amplifier, and game system. |
