Leave Your Mobile Phone Plugged In All Night, Pay $10 Extra A Year For Power

For $12.95, you can tell exactly how much power your computer, home appliances and cell phone chargers are using when they are not in use.

Simply get yourself a Phantom Power Indicator from Dutch clean-tech firm Freelux.

The power indicator was newly launched last week at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show. It looks like any wall plug, except for the four button-sized LED lights that run across its top. If one light burns, the power being wasted by your idle appliance will cost you $5 a year.

Two lights (about what a cell phone charger consumes when it is plugged in all night) add up to $10 a year in wasted electricity.

Most people don’t know how much energy they waste by not unplugging electronics when it is not in use. Now they can find out.

The product is for sale on the Freelux Web site.
