Review on πŸ’‘ Efficient Energy Saving: Belkin 8-Outlet Conserve Switch Surge Protector with Remote Control, 4ft Cord – White by Jojo Howell

Revainrating 1 out of 5

15Amp switch with the lowest rating I've tested!

Consumes 0.4W when off and draws 1.3W when on. I have tested many remote switches. Belkin has the second-lowest vampire power consumption of any device tested. The power consumed of 0.4 W corresponds to that of a power strip supplied as standard. While the Etekcity brand does not draw any measurable phantom power when switched off, they are only designed for 10 A, Belkin for a full 15 A. This makes it the switch with the lowest current consumption at 15 A, 0.4 A could just about equal the current consumption of the lighting be. All other tested switches consume 1.1-1.3 watts when switched off. I find the switch to be a clever design but overdone and silly. I sent it back because they used tamper proof screws. I want to be able to look inside to see if I can trust him. If good muscle relays existed, I would defiantly keep them.
