Studies have shown that the average computers idle time represents from 69 to 97% of its total annual energy use, regardless of whether power management software is utilized.
Much of this waste is very avoidable since many of us have adopted the habit of simply leaving the computer running for hours or even days when we are not even using it. Regardless of our reasons to not power down, our computer, monitor, printer, sound system, external drives, scanners and other peripheral devices sit quietly in the background consuming power, even if we do not use the computer for days.
The Energy Saving Smart Strip Power Strip, combined with your simple awareness to at least shut down your computer when not in use, will resolve your wasted power issues. You simply just need to plug your computer into the blue 'Control' outlet and your printer, monitor, sound system, etc., into the white 'Automatically Switched' outlets. When you turn the computer on, the Smart Strip turns on the 'Automatically Switched' outlets and when you turn the PC off, the Smart Strip completely cuts power to the 'Automatically Switched' outlets. Simple. Easy. Breezy.
The Energy Saving Smart Strip Power Strip can be used to save energy on Television and home entertainment systems as well, but is not as effective with items, such as DVR's and digital cable boxes which must be powered up at all times, but works wonderfully to kill power on power consuming stereo systems.
What is the Energy Saving Smart Strip Power Strip?
The Energy Saving Smart Strip Power Strip features advanced circuitry that provides excellent power surge protection, line noise filtering and is able to 'sense' the flow of electrical current through the strip's blue colored 'Control' outlet. By sensing the amount of power being drawn through the 'Control' outlet, it knows when that item is either on or off and then turns off any equipment plugged into its white colored 'Switched' outlet. This is a wonderful feature that no other power strip can offer.
