Simply touch the face of the LED module to turn the light On or Off. Place these in multiple locations around the house or use them all in the same spot. A magnetic back is provided for attaching to or hanging from metal surfaces. This could be incredibly useful during a power outage or failure providing a means to check your breaker box or other electrical enclosures, hands-free. What’s more, you will have a device to provide stationary lighting or take it with you using the LED as a flashlight. Keyholes on the back of the oval housing allow users to mount the device to walls, ceilings, under cabinets, inside closets, and more.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, appliances account for 17% of your household’s energy consumption. Make sure you keep your costs low by reducing the amount of standby power your appliances use.
- One way to save money is making sure your TV is completely off!
Plug your TV into the Save A Watt and eliminate all power consumption while it’s not being used. Uses your normal TV remote to turn your TV all the way off – no standby power drain. Plug your subwoofer into it and have your sound system’s remote turn the sub truly off when you’re not shaking the floor. Aside from saving energy and money, you also remove a potential shock or fire hazard.
- Also, stop wasting energy (and money) on phantom or vampire losses while you’re not using your appliances.
Plug any device into the Save A Watt and learn how much electricity it consumes while it is idle – so-called “phantom” loads. It is estimated that a cell phone charger wastes 85% of all the energy consumed during its lifetime. Find which devices you have that consume electricity when not being used. How much does your TV eat up while you’re at work?
