I bought one of these Smart Strips at an Earth Day fair this year. We have a DVD player that had NO power off switch - it was always in standby mode. When I hooked the TV and peripherals up to this strip, I could see the difference on my electric bill. Given that my family members are not disciplined about turning off peripherals, this has been a definite money-saver for me.
The Smart Strip takes a product that we all have - the power strip, and makes it more energy efficient.
Computer peripherals, like printers and scanners, continue to use energy, even after you turn them off. It's called 'idle' current, and whether or not your using your peripherals, you're still paying to power them. The Smart Strip power strip from Bits Ltd senses how much power your computer peripherals use. When it senses that you've turned your computer off, it automatically shuts off your peripherals, too, preventing them from drawing an idle current.
