Belkin Energy Saving Power Outlet

You may or may not know about it, but leaving many of your devices plugged into the wall socket means that they’re still consuming electricity, and thus increasing your monthly electric bill, this is due to standby power, or the phantom load. If you’re hardworking and diligent, you could go around unplugging all your devices from the wall socket, but let’s face it, you’ll get sick of doing that after a while. Belkin has noticed this and has introduced their latest Conserve Surge Protector for $49.99. The surge protector looks fairly normal at first glance, but the difference is the bundled wall-mountable wireless switch, which can cut the power to your gadgets when it’s not in use. If you want to leave certain items on all the time, such as your router or clock, Belkin has understandingly provided two outlets that are “always on”. All this sounds real handy, and of course, it’s a good surge protector to boot.
