Kill Standby Drainage With this Handy Device

I've discovered a great new store called Nigel's Eco Store - www.nigelsecostore.com

Direct link to the product is: http://nigelsecostore.com/acatalog/OneClick_IntelliPlug.html

On it I discovered this lovely little device. Granted its not sexy but what it does is quite exciting! You can get it elsewhere but here they explain what it is, how it works and, perhaps most importantly, that is recommended by the Energy Saving Trust. I've already recommended this organisation so I trust that this device does what it says it does. Also it was a good deal cheaper than some other similar devices I've seen out there.



Here's the description:

Plug your desktop computer into the master socket on the IntelliPlug, and your peripheral devices (printer, monitor, scanner, etc) into the other sockets and when you turn your computer on (or off), the IntelliPlug detects this and turns everything else on (or off) - saving you the hassle, and most importantly, stopping you from leaving them on standby.

  • Leaving appliances on standby wastes a huge amount of energy, making the IntelliPlug a great tool for helping you to live a more eco-friendly life.
  • It will also work with your hi-fi amplifier and separates (CD player, tuner etc).
  • Recommended by the Energy Saving Trust, it has received a number of excellent reviews.
  • Specification:
    • - this unit will automatically determine the on and off power level of any desktop computer or hi-fi audio visual amplifier to automatically power peripheral equipment, only when in use.
    • Lowest standby power of 0.4 of a watt saving an average 35 watts per hour depending on the number of connected peripherals.
    • Reaction time 5 seconds.
    • Maximum Power 13 amps.
  • This product can pay for itself in less than a year of use.
  • PLEASE NOTE: NOT SUITABLE FOR LAPTOPS
