Are you looking for a way to save power, save money, and help the environment all at the same time? Consider checking out the newly announced Belkin Conserve 8 outlet surge protector. I know.. get a surge protector? How in the world does that help me?
Many of today’s electronics often operate in a sleep or a standby mode once “turned off”. Thus when you think you’ve turned off the device, you’ve actually switched it to a standby state where the device is still consuming a bit of electricity. All sorts of devices do this - ranging from TVs, receivers, computers to battery chargers. The only real way of making sure the device is truly powered off is by either removing the plug from the outlet or surge protector or removing the surge protector from the wall which is usually a pain to do since they’re typically hidden away.
Belkin’s solution is the Belkin Conserve - an 8 outlet surge protector which makes it extremely easy to turn off devices by using a wireless remote control. With the remote control, you can completely shut off power going to a device that consumes standby power. Six of the eight outlets are “switchable” while two of the outlets are “always-on” outlets. Now when you turn off your device, you can also switch off the outlet that the device is connected to making sure no power is delivered to the device in standby mode.
Features include:
- 8 surge protected outlets - 6 switchable and 2 always-on
- Slim sleek design
- Single remote control multiple Conserves
- Comes with $100,000 Connected Equipment Warranty
The Belkin Conserve will be available in North American starting in the Summer of 2008 and in Europe and Australia in the Fall of 2008 for $49.99
