Glowing socket

Such appliances as computer will stop consuming power only if they are unplugged. Even though they have been turned off, current is still drawing.

Therefore, you need a reminder. This socket comes with a hidden LED which will light up the whole panel when the current is drawing. The more the current is, the brighter the light glows. If you don’t need this kind of indicator, just touch the button on the right top of this socket. It won’t be lit up unless you turn on it again.

Designer: Shane Ellis and Terry Brown
