An easy way to save energy around the house! Standby Power is the energy used by an appliance even when it is supposedly turned off, usually on remote controlled devices such as TVs, DVD players, printers, scanners, computer monitors etc. The power used can be significant on some poorly designed devices, but even with good ones it can add up to quite a bit across all of the units in your house, estimated at up to 11% of domestic power usage by the Australian Greenhouse Office.
The best way to deal with standby power is to switch things off at the powerpoint. However this can be difficult and fiddly in most cases. This Foot Switched Powerboard makes it easy! No need to bend down or get under desks or workbenches, you can simply press the button with your foot!
