Product Description
The TrickleSaver TV is a smart power strip which will automatically turn off TV peripherals ( DVD players, cable boxes, speaker systems etc), when the TV is turned off. By turning off unused electronics you can save electricity, which lowers your bill and reduces your CO2 footprint. You'll be surprised how much you can save!
How It Works
The second image above shows how to setup your TrickleSaver TV. Simply plug the TrickleSaver into a power outlet, and plug your TV into the TrickleSaver outlet marked 'Master'. Then connect a conventional power strip with all of your computer peripherals attached to the outlet marked 'Slave'. When you turn off your TV, the TrickleSaver senses that the 'Master' outlet is drawing no power, and automatically switches off all the peripherals connected to the 'Slave' outlet. When you switch on your TV, the TrickleSaver TV senses the TV is on, and turns all the peripherals back on.
Why It's Good
Turning off your TV peripherals when not in use can save huge amounts of electricity, lowering your carbon footprint and reducing your electricity bills.
There is a special energy saving calculator to work out just how much electricity/dollars/carbon you will be saving.

Unlike other auto-switching power strips, the TrickleSaver makes use of existing power strips in your home and offices. This reduces the materials in manufacturing the TrickleSaver, reduces waste from unused power strips, and lowers the cost.
