Magnify Eco Button - Auto Shut Down Pcs And Lap Tops
Eco Button - Auto Shut Down Pcs And Lap Tops
Eco Button - Auto Shut Down Pcs And Lap Tops
Eco Gadgets
One third or more of energy used on a PC and monitor is wasted energy! This wasted energy can cost around Ā£50 or more a year. Did you know? Computers and monitors can account for half of the electricity used in a typical offi ce. A single monitor left switched on overnight can use the same energy as a laser printer producing 800 A4 printed copies, - and don't be fooled by a screensaver - the computer is still working at full power to run this! There are some 10m office PCs in Britain and 1.8m are regularly left on overnight or all weekend, according to a recent study on energy wastage. This means that around 1.5 billion kWh of energy is wasted by computers and monitors being left on - that's approximately Ā£115million wasted in the UK every year! Convert this into carbon and we waste around 7000,000 tonnes of carbon because of workers not switching off computers and monitors in the UK (that's 10% of the UK climate change levy target)! How does the Eco Button work? The ecobuttonā„¢ is an illuminating USB device that acts as a reminder and a prompt for the user to press the ecobuttonā„¢ at every opportunity whenever the computer is going to be left idle. This could be from taking a phone call or break, to doing paperwork or going to lunch and meetings where otherwise the computer would normally be left on. This is because people generally do not like turning off their computers because of the time it often takes to restart. When the ecobuttonā„¢ is pressed it engages the computer into energy saving ā€˜ecomode'. This ensures that both the computer and monitor are set to operate in the most efficient, lowest power mode available, which actually draws only the same nominal power as when the computer and monitor are turned off! When you need to use the computer again, simply press any key to instantly return to where you left off! The savings The amount of energy that a computer and monitor use varies depending on its age, model, and the programmes and applications in use. A PC switched on 8 hours a day engaging ā€˜ecomode' for 3 hours could save around Ā£50 in electricity cost per year. If the PC is left on overnight the saving could be Ā£100 or more - or the equivalent of 600kgs of CO2. Indirect savings can be made with air conditioning systems as they do not have to work so hard because less heat is generated from computers actively using the ecobuttonā„¢. Because the ecobuttonā„¢ stays illuminated even during ecomode, this can provide a useful reminder that all uneccessary computers, lighting, heating and air conditioning etc... should be be switched off at the end of the day. The Government is urging everybody to take steps to become carbon neutral. The ecobuttonā„¢ proactively encourages eco awareness and self satisfaction that every small click actually adds up to make a BIG difference. This is emphasised by the provision of an on- screen meter that shows exactly what has been saved in both power cost and carbon footprint. It demonstrates that individually and collectively as a business, that you are taking responsibility to reduce your carbon footprint and to cut electricity bills by making efficient use of resources. The ecobuttonā„¢ is RoHS compliant and manufactured from recycled plastic. It is a retrofi t device so that it will work on any PC currently running Windows 2000, XP and Vista 32 bit, and regardless of how energy effi cient your IT system may be, the ecobuttonā„¢ will contribute to further savings. With an estimated growth of computer usage of around 40% by 2020, isn't it about time we all took some action to deal with this growing problem? Whether you save a lot or a little, you can be assured that by using ecobuttonā„¢ you will be making a difference.

Magnify Glow Brick In Blue From Suck Design
Glow Brick In Blue From Suck Design
Glow Brick In Blue From Suck Design
Eco Gadgets
SUCK
Glow-in-the-dark* pigment trapped inside a real light bulb (just like the ones you have at home). Then the light bulb is encased in a solid block of Acrylic resin. The mysterious optical effect is caused by light diffracting in the tiny space between the glass of the light bulb and the resin, the space forms when the resin shrinks by a tiny amount during the production prossess. The polished surface gives a jewel like quality to the object. In a darkened room or at night the Glow Brick comes to life with a tranquil and subtle glow emanating from the pigment inside the light bulb. Dimensions: 85 X 85 X 105mm *The technical term for glow-in-the-dark is "photoluminescence" this is a process in which energy absorbed by a substance is released relatively slowly in the form of light. No mains power or batteries are required.
