This set of transmitters and receivers is ideal for switching off televisions, DVD players, video players, lights, computers, and virtually any other electrical item that has a standby setting. The remote has a 30 metre range in an open space, and can control up to 4 different channels.

By plugging your electrical appliances (such as TVs, DVD players or any other electrical appliance) into a remote controlled plug socket, it can be completely switched off by way of remote control. Therefore no excess electricity is wasted while the appliances are in standby mode.

When you leave any electrical appliance on standby it wastes electricity, this wasted electricity is still costing you money so by reducing the amount of electricity you waste you are also reducing the amount that you are paying on your electricity bills.

By doing this, the amount of carbon dioxide being emitted into the atmosphere is reduced. These receivers and transmitters need no installation and simply plug into any ordinary mains socket to convert it to remote control.

Why is standby bad?

• Around 15 million televisions are left on standby everyday in the UK alone, releasing almost 500,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year.

• Even when a television is in standby mode it still consumes 70% of the power it does when it is switched on.

• Although the amount of energy used when an appliance is in standby varies, a typical home entertainment system (TV, DVD, Hi-fi etc...) will cost around £40 a year if left on standby.

• Leaving appliances on standby can also reduce the appliances lifespan by up to 15%.

These energy saving devices will reduce your carbon footprint by reducing the amount of carbon emissions that are being released into the atmosphere when an electrical appliance is left on standby.
