![]() ![]() As the name suggests this provides constant, unending power to devices you do not want to switch off. To the left hand side of the plug is the "permanent on" socket. You can use an extension lead in this socket to power all of your items you want switched off (in my case, numerous games consoles) when the TV enters standby. When the TV is in use, it provides power to the socket on the right-hand side (the "peripheral socket"). This socket keeps track of whether your TV is in standby or not (for reference, I use an LG 43" 4K TV with mine). The top socket ("master socket") is for your television. It's quite a bulky plug which means units with backs on them may conflict with it depending on how close to the wall you want to place the unit. I figured this might be a good choice to keep everything switched off remotely without having to try to wrestle my way behind the unit to the power socket. I have an entertainment center that has a lot of items that remain on standby when not in use. more so when I have 3 monitors attached to it. That is what I bought for my computer, and its so simple switch computer off then press remote control to off, save money. So If you have very new equipment maybe a physically remote controlled extension would be more useful to you. ![]() However I would have given it four stars if I had bought it for the old TV as it does what it says on the tin for older equipment. Luckily I have more than one TV in the house, if not I would have had to go through a refund process. What is most annoying is there is no mention that this will not work on new energy efficient equipment, I think the description should be changed to show this. I had a similar problem with a new computer, when the power dropped the device got confused and started turning my monitors off and on. I have had a look at the power consumption of the new TV vs the Old TV and the new TV uses 41w when on and 0.5 on standby and the old TV uses 152w when on and 1w on standby, I cannot help but think that the device cannot be used with already highly power efficient rated appliances. Slightly annoying but I then put it on an older TV with a computer in the controlled socket and it worked fine. I bought this to control the power (eliminate standby) on a new JVC smart TV, but after teaching the device the remote control, (which I found easy to do) the TV would come on to standby and then switch off again. Tested to British Standards, RoHS compliant and recommended by the Energy Saving Trust the IntelliPlug’s green credentials, integrity and reliability are endorsed by independently qualified technicians. OneClick technologies have spent several years developing the world’s first patented intelligent plug designed to work automatically and boasts a lifespan of at least 15 years. Furthermore research suggests that leaving electrical equipment on standby can reduce its lifespan by an average of 15% and creates a needless fire risk. The eon Powerdown power saving socket easily pays for itself in around 6 months from the energy it saved. Got more than one peripheral? just connect a socket extension (not supplied). The eon TV powerdown has three UK standard sockets, one for the master (your TV), one Permant on for device you want it to be on permanantly such as Sky, and one Slave for all peripheral devices. Unlike other energy saving plug extension leads where you must set up a timer or a separate remote control, all you do is to use your TV remote control to switch it off normally, then everything else connected to the slave socket will be switched off automatically ~ 2 min later. The eon TV Powerdown energy saving socket saves you money by automatically cutting off standby consumption by slave electric devices like setop boxes, DVD players/recorders, speakers/amplifiers etc.
