Based on clever design and accurate arrange, the Rozetkcus Wall Socket comes with 9 points to allow you to plug in various shapes of devices effectively. It not only solves that problem that we usually need to insert several different types of plugs in one socket, but also promises endless possibilities of how to configure your devices according to their plugs’ shapes. Except for the 9-point socket, the Rozetkcus is also available in a 16 points version.

PumPing Tap is a 2011 red dot design concept winner, which can cleverly solve the problem of wastage of electricity by automatically ejecting a plug when the appliance is switched off. About ten minutes later after you’ve turned your device off but haven’t unplugged it, the socket will then eject the plug, so as to completely cut off the electricity.

Pull and fix to provide your electrical appliances with enough electricity, to use an outlet is just as simple as that. Composed of 5 pods along a 15 foot-long cable, the Pod Power is an extension cord that brings the outlets to you, and in the meanwhile keeps your cables tidy and organized. With adhesive stripes included, the Pod Power can be stuck onto walls or tables once you’ve already adjusted the distance between the pods.

I am the kind of person who seldom remembers to unplug the devices when they’re fully charged, so you can imagine how much I’ve paid to the electric power bureau. But the Wind Up Socket, featuring an integrated timer, may change that. All you have to do is to rotate the plug to set the duration. And the socket will then cut off the power automatically, as the time passes by. For forgetful guys like you and me, the socket is really the best choice. [Read the rest of this entry...]

So you always forget to pull out the plugs but simply turn off the electrical appliances when not using them any more? Well, my friends, you’re wasting both the energy and your money. And aiming to help you form a good habit of switching off your electrical outlets, Daun Yun and Junil Choi have brought the ‘Switcle’ Concept Design to us. It is a combination of the switch and the receptacle, making the outlet look like a big switch and all that is expected to call for your attention to turn off the outlet.

An innovative power strip should always serve us well, and thanks to the “Movable Power” by Jeff Carter, we no longer need to adjust our space to accommodate the strips as we used to do. It allows you to adjust the entire strip to meet your different needs and therefore promises you a more convenient use. Pity that it is only a concept at present and we may wait for days to see the practical product hit the market. [Read the rest of this entry...]

I have a question to ask you: how many plugs you can actually insert to the same board at one time even though the socket is designed to accommodate six to eight plugs? Haven’t you found that you can never make full use of the socket since the plugs and chargers are produced in different shapes? Of course, if you’re using the Cute Cube socket, you won’t be bothered by that question because the cube-shaped socket is capable of accommodating six plugs. Still including indicator lights and rotatable jacks, the socket also allows you a convenient use it in the dark. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Wow, it came as quite a shock to me. The wall is unbelievably full of outlets! Surely that saves us much trouble to fix different sorts of sockets for TVs, stereos, but wait, how can you tell the real outlets? I mean, not every socket on the wall is ready-to-use…

What’s this?

It is actually an innovative socket that can hold several two-pin plugs at one time, just as you’ve seen in the photos. Simple but fairly cool! At present, the socket is merely available in the USA and Japan. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Often monitors and air conditioners do not need running when no one is in the room. It is not the case, however, in reality. And a good solution is needed to cut off power when necessary.

This new product with a built-in sensor can detect whether there is anybody in the room, if not, it will automatically cutoff six of the eight sockets in 30 seconds to a half-hour. The other two sockets are normal ones to fit for chargers which need longer plugging. [Read the rest of this entry...]

In order to provide enough space for huge AC adaptors, designers have created so many power strip molds. In fact, the fundamental problem is for freedom. If a power strip can offer enough freedom, you can plus as many sockets as you can.

This octopus look like cable socket is a good alternative.

Just rotate this eco-tap socket which seems like a real tap, your device could be powered off without pulling a cord. [Read the rest of this entry...]
