Bye Bye Ugly A/C Bricks and Power Strips
The Energy Saving Adapters by Gilles Belley not only look good but have some smarts behind them too. Each module corresponds to a device and monitors the power consumption independently. Most electrical devices have a standby mode to save energy but even then, about 10% of today’s electrical costs come from appliances wasting energy in that mode. The Energy Saving Adapters can detect this and display symbolic symbols notifying the owner of wasted energy. If someone doesn’t respond within 3 minutes, it automatically turns off said device.
It’s a gorgeous solution to visually show people how much power they’re wasting but there’s a catch 22 here. Someone like me would probably purposely leave everything on just to see the pretty lights on the adapters glow.

This is cool, but this produce was envisaged for different electric norm like, japanese norm, or french norm?
Ugh. Someone tell the genius designer that if he just cuts the power, to, say, an inkjet printer as shown, that the heads aren’t going to be parked and it’ll leak ink and dry out rapidly, causing much more expense and waste.
Go tell the genius designers of the the inkjet printers.
Nice idea to clean things up. I like the fact that most out let hangs below the table’s surface. I hope it becomes available soon. I hope that the cords can be modular too, I need a 30ft(10m) cord to the only outlet in my workshop.

Um…what other kind of symbols are there?
