The Smart Strip Power Strip is the only surge protector on the market that can save enough energy to pay for itself in 14 weeks on average.

If you shut everything off:
If you leave just your peripherals on:
If you leave everything on 24/7:
   Just by setting the sleep mode to one hour in a typical office and using the Smart Strip Power Strip results in a 73% power savings. With the average electric rate in the USA currently at 9.88 cents per killowatt the average office computer achieves a savings of $11.16 per month. In New England & California with the electric rate being 50% higher then the national average the Smart Strip achieves an astonishing savings of $16.75 per month.

Aververge electric rate in the USA is 9.88 cents/KWH as per the DOE Feb 2007
Since electric rates are constantly changing, the rates quoted here will always be more current then our packaging

...you leave just your peripherals on:
   Each peripheral draws an idle current of 50 mA to 500 mA per hour. Multiply that by the number of peripherals you have, and the number of hours you leave them on, and you can see how that 'idle current' can really add up on your bill! Just a printer and a small monitor use as much as a 60-watt light that is on 24/7. Would you leave a 60W lamp on 24 hours a day?

...you shut everything off:
1. No more waiting for your computer to shutdown before you turn off your computer peripherals.
2. No more bending over to turn off your power strip
3. No more turning off all those switches.
4. Peripherals that do not have a power switch are turned off & their idle currents eliminated.
5. Plug in transformers have a leakage current of up to 4 watts. The Smart Strip stops all leakage currents.

The only power strip that helps environment.
   ENERGY STAR studies show that if every home office replaced just their the computer equipment with ENERGY STAR labeled computer equipment, it would save 219 billion pounds of greenhouse gases. By using the Smart Strip Power Strip on your existing computer system, you will save more energy then replacing your computer and you will be keeping more computers out of the landfills.

   Consider the fact the office computers far out number home computers and that most offices leave their computers on 24/7. This simple solution could equate to being a BIG part of the solution for the Energy Crisis.

Excellent surge protection & noise filtering.
    Most surge protectors come with 1250 joules or less of surge protection. Our LCG series comes with 2875 joules. All Surge protectors have 1 fuse, we have 4 different fuses. Then we have a patent pending safety monitoring circuit that monitors the status of the entire surge protector and the ground.

    The Smart Strip uses noise filtering chokes that most other companies leave it out because they consider it too expensive. They eliminate high frequency spikes that film capacitors in standard surge protector do not catch. This adds a second layer of protection for your equipment, as well as optimizing the strip's performance.

Smart design is full of features.
The intelligent design for the Smart Strip isn't limited to its internal circuitry.

• Recessed lighted power switch to avoid accidental turn off
• Easy to understand color coded indicators
• Clearly labeled outlets to simplify installation
• 4 transformer outlets for those BIG BLOCKS you have
• Angled space saver plug that does not block any outlets
• internal phone splitter so you can protect both your fax & your modem.

Many great uses around your home or business.
   Use a lamp to turn on your stereo or fan! Use a table saw to turn on a shop vacuum. And many more... Let us know what you use it on, we would love to hear from you.

   The Smart Strip Power Strip can be used anywhere a regular power strip is used. While only certain electronic devices (such as computers, monitors, fluorescent lamps, motors and electronic devices that have a high efficiency power supply) will turn on the switched outlets, 4 of the outlets are always hot and can be used just like a normal power strip.

The following is a sample of what the smart strip can be used with to help you automate:
