Most modern electronic devices like your big screen tv (or regular tv), gaming consoles, DVD players, amplifiers, Computer hardware like monitors and printers, kitchen electronics etc continue to use power even when they are turned off or placed in stand-by mode. We never realize that this consumption of energy by these electronic devices, even when they are not in use, adds substantially to our electric bills every month. By some estimates these electronics, while in stand-by mode or switch off mode, will still draw about 60% – 80% of the power that they require for full operation. That is huge!!

To overcome this problem of unnecessary power consumption, you can get yourself a Smart power strip. The Smart Strip LCG5 energy saving power strip comes with ten power outlets and features the patented auto-switching technology. The auto switching technology will automatically cut off all power to a device, when the device is not in use. The power strip can also protect your electronic devices from damage caused by sudden power surges and voltage fluctuations. It provides premium EMF/RFI filtering and 2875-joule protection.

This is a highly recommended product.  You can read more about it here.
