Do you know what "vampire power" is? Here's a hint. It sucks your energy at night!

Did you know the standby power consumed by your entertainment system when it's not in use is costing you an estimated $76 a year? (What you save will depend on what your electric company charges per Kwh.) This stand-by power has often been called “vampire” or “phantom” power. Vampire power is pretty apt – it sucks your energy while you sleep! Entertainment systems are typically the biggest energy drains in the house, consuming energy 24/7. The Belkin Conserve Smart AV Auto-Off Surge Protector Power Strip can help you save energy and money. It lets you control power to 6 devices with your TV's on/off button which reduces standby power automatically. When you use your remote to turn off your TV's power button, this device will turn off DVD players, gaming consoles, receivers, subwoofers and other equipment automatically. Two outlets stay on for devices that need continuous power, like DVRs. It's under $30.
