Smart Energy

120 190 CS smartenergt fmtVampire power could be sucking your wallet dry every time the electricity bill is due. Vampire power, also known as phantom power, is the energy drawn from electronics while they’re plugged into an outlet — even when they’re not turned on. If it’s a hassle to unplug every cord in the house, consider an energy-saving surge protector like the Tripp Lite Eco-Surge. It includes seven “Power Save” outlets that cut power when devices such as TVs and lamps aren’t in use, and three “Always On” outlets provide continuous power to critical devices such as routers and DVRs. There are also 6-, 7-, 8- and 12-outlet versions.
