Belkin Conserve Energy-Saving Surge Protector

January 20, 2008

January 21, 2008 Belkin's aptly named Conserve is an 8-outlet surge protector that reduces energy consumption by eliminating wasteful standby power, helping lower the overall impact on the environment and at the same time saving money.

Conserve offers 8 surge-protected outlets: 6 “switchable” and 2 “always-on” outlets, allowing users to easily control energy use. Multiple Conserve surge protectors can also be controlled with a single remote control from virtually anywhere in the house with user-selectable channels.

The Conserve is available for USD$49.95.

Darren's love of technology started in primary school with a Nintendo Game & Watch Donkey Kong (still functioning) and a Commodore VIC 20 computer (not still functioning). In high school he upgraded to a 286 PC, and he's been following Moore's law ever since. This love of technology continued through a number of university courses and crappy jobs until 2008, when his interests found a home at Gizmag. All articles by Darren Quick
