Okay, where's the "on/off" switch?


Many electric gizmos and gadgets today don’t have an on/off switch. They’re made to stay on in low power mode ready to wake up when you wake up. But, a lot of the electronics and appliances around your home use electricity even when they’re not in use. Yes, that’s what has been dubbed ‘vampire power’ sucking up your dollars as it wastes energy as it drives up your electric bill. I like LED tube lights, but they come with an on/off switch either. Belkin has solved the problem with the Conserve Power Switch. It completely shuts off power—including standby power— to your electronics and appliances with the flip of a switch, to help you save energy. It’s like unplugging—without having to unplug – and replug when you want to use it again. The Conserve Power Switch goes into the outlet first. Then any device – with a standard two or three prong AC plug goes into the switch. Now you have a fully functional on/off switch. But wait, there’s more! There’s also a built in pilot light. It glows as a reminder that the device is on. The Conserve Power Switch itself uses no power when not in operation, so standby power is eliminated. Under $7. (Strange, but the $6.99 price on the Belkin website is the lowest price I could find. It was about double that when I looked on Amazon!)
