What does it do?
The eco-switch™ effectively allows you to move the location of your power point switch to a new more convenient location. You take back control. You choose where the eco-switch™ is, and you collect the savings.
The problem prior to the eco-switch™ was that people were reluctant to turn off their electrical appliances at the wall outlet because it’s either dark or grubby, awkward or even impossible to - or they just couldn’t be bothered ... agreed?
Well now the eco-switch™ allows anyone to turn off any appliance or all of their appliances completely. And from one convenient location. Easily.

Why should I use it?
Research by the University of NSW1 has calculated that standby power (power used by an appliance while plugged in but not performing its central function) accounts for up to 11.6% of Australia’s household electricity consumption, equivalent to more than one million cars on the road.
And you are paying for this! An average of over $100 per year and one to 1.5 tonnes of CO2 per year wasted - many families much more. Your pollution and your money ... all up in smoke. With less than the money you'll save on your first power bill you can own an eco-switch™ or two and regain control of your power-points!
If that’s not enough reason, how about the inconvenience of having to go around at the end of the day and push a whole series of on/off buttons on and off, when the eco-switch™ lets you do it all from one easy central location?
Whenever and from wherever you choose, an eco-switch™ puts you back in control.
Bonus? The bonus is the security of knowing that all your appliances are actually - and completely - OFF. Discover a new level of safety at home and work.
At last, with an eco-switch™, OFF now means 100% OFF !

Where would I use it?
Any of these places or "hubs’ where your appliances might be grouped:
- Computer hub: computer2, monitor, modem, external hard-drive, scanner, printer, etc.
- Television hub: TV, VCR, DVD, set-top box, cable TV box, etc.
- Audio hub: CD player, tape player, turntable, amplifier, tuner, etc.
- Office hub: photocopier, fax machine, answering machine, printer, etc.
- Workshop hub: any equipment that you’d like to turn on or off from one easy location.
You can also use the eco-switch™ to make further savings of energy and money by
- Using an eco-switch™ to make your refrigerator’s power point accessible.
- Use an eco-switch™ to bypass any unnecessary electronic clocks3. For instance, many microwave ovens use more energy with their digital clock running all day every day than the few minutes each day actually microwaving stuff! Ask yourself, "how many clocks do I really need?"
- Connecting an eco-switch™ to any mains-powered device whatsoever that has a light remaining on, or heat coming from it, after you’ve turned it off.
- Airconditioners, pumps, fish tanks, machinery, kitchen gadgets, items without their own switch, dangerous equipment - any item at all that you can think of that would be easier or safer if it was able to be switched from somewhere easier.
- Connecting an eco-switch™ to your rechargeable device's "plug-pack" transformer. Typically such devices include your mobile phone, rechargeable torch, kids toys, MP3s, digital camera, GPS, etc, etc.

How do I use it?
It’s incredibly simple.
- Just select the appliance(s) you want the eco-switch™ to control, plug them into the eco-switch™ (via your existing power-board(s) if required), then plug the eco-switch™ into the power outlet at the wall.
- Mount the switch end of the eco-switch™ wherever you want it (eg. next to your light switch, side of the TV, top of your desk) using the adhesive pad supplied and clip the wire out of sight with the included clips and your done!
Flick the eco-switch™ on and everything is on as if you’d turned everything on at the power outlet at the wall.
Flick the eco-switch™ off and you’ll discover that finally- with an eco-switch™ - OFF now means 100% OFF !
No phantom loads glowing in the dark anymore, eco-switch™ is the new black !
