I’ve been seeing a lot of electrical socket concepts lately. Maybe
it’s because some people are finally more aware of the dangers of
leaving devices that are no longer being used plugged in, or it could be
because some have realized what a waste it is to keep electronic stuff
plugged in all the time. Either that, or it’s just some sort of weird
socket trend.
You can use the Dialug to schedule or set when you want power to flow through. But for everything else, there’s the Eco-Socket.
I honestly prefer the Eco-Socket over
the other concept design because it’s more intuitive than a timer. The
Eco-Socket automatically pops out and cuts power when it detects that a
dip in energy consumption of a device that’s plugged in. It’s the more
convenient option because there’s no need to time anything or keep
monitoring it.
And when you need to power your device again, just push the plug
right back in again. The Eco-Socket was designed by Ya-Hui Chi and is an
entry for the 2011 Lite-On Award.
