Saving standby energy

摘要

Another innovative, energy-saving product introduced by Radiant Lighting and Electrical (Radiant) enables computer users and TV home theatre users to save electricity. The Trickle Star automatically switches off all other equipment attached to either the computer or TV - such as printers, modems, amplifiers, DVD players and speakers - when the PC is shut down or the TV is switched off with the remote control. Executive director of Electrical Product Development at Radiant, Graham Chick, says, "When appliances are in standby mode they consume small amounts of electricity unnecessarily. Over time this can add up to large amounts of power, especially when thousands of people behave the same way. The Tricklesaver is effortless to use and reduces electricity wasted on standby power for PC peripherals and home theatre accessories."
