    Sensor Plug – A simple device that can help save electricity easily. 

    This is so easy to use! No wiring, no batteries, no tools. SensorPlug is like having an extra pair of hands when you need them! It’s a motion-sensing outlet that uses a passive infrared motion sensor. Plug in a light, or whatever you like, and it’s triggered “on” when you walk past. I have one of my Sensor Plugs outside a closet full of gadgets with a small spotlight plugged into it. As I approach the closet door with an arm full of boxes, the light goes on. It stays on as long as it senses movement and then shuts off automatically.You can adjust the auto shut off time from 2 to 6 minutes, but it will keep the light or device on for as long as it senses movement. Mine’s been a big help already, and I'm thinking of using another one as a burglar alarm. It sure will get someone’s attention when they enter a room and a big light comes on! It’s rated up to 600 watts. Installation is as easy as plugging SensorPlug into a wall outlet. It’s a three prong plug so it can be grounded. It comes with a screw if you want to secure it to the AC outlet wall plate, if desired. Sensor Plug costs about $15. If you do a web search for SensorPlug you can often find them on sale for as low as $11.00!
