In this world of technological advances, we are so used to having several gadgets in our house that require power and connection facilities of various needs. Power strips are most common electrical outlets that we use when we do not have enough plug points in our house to manage all the electrical and electronic gadgets effectively.
Are you so used to those colourless and basic looking power strips that add to the clutter in your house. Here is a way to add some interest to your room while you get all your gadgets working in perfect harmony.
1. Donut
Get your power sockets working and enjoy the image of a donut too as you plug in your appliances. For lovers of donuts, this power strip is feast for the eyes. Comes in a wonderful donut shape with the power points arranged in circles around the ring. Probably not a new concept as you might have already seen countless power strips in circular shape with the sockets placed in the middle. But anything shaped like a donut would interest donut lover for sure.
2. Wall Cleats
The clutter that power strips can create on the floor is unpardonable. How about a wall mountable power strip? The less clutter, the better. Wall cleats are two very simple looking flat tabs on a cover plate which can be fixed on the wall. The edges are slightly pulled outwards so that the wires can be wound around the plate for a clutter free zone. The only problem is that this power strip cannot be carried around the house.
3. Intelligent Power Strip
Another great way to eliminate clutter around your work area or house, the intelligent power strip comes in a triangular skeletal shape with three power strips joined at the corners. The design is so convenient that it can be snuggled into a corner and the style gives it a clean and neat look to the entire room. As the clutter of three cords is avoided in this triple cod design, there is less chance of you tripping and falling anytime.
4. UFO power strip
The UFO power strip has a circular body, made to resemble a UFO and the sockets are concealed inside the bottom part of the design. When in use, the top section can be removed and kept like a bowl on the stand on which the power sockets are fixed. Known to be very energy efficient and capable of managing 4 appliances at a time, the UFO power strip helps in saving on electricity bills by automating and recording the activity of the appliances that are not in use.
5. Ember Lamp
This stylish power strip has a lamp attached to it that can be used as a bed lamp as well. The design is such that the wires can be neatly organised around the power strip without creating much of a mess in the room. Very stylish and colourful as well.
6. Waterproof
One needs to be always careful with power strips as moisture and water can cause disasters and are a reason for getting a shock from your gadgets. How about a power strip that can resist water, or better still work when water is splashed over it as well? Difficult to imagine isn’t it? The waterproof power strip does exactly that. Splash water and you are still safe around it. It is child safe, spark resistant, overheat safe and water resistant. However, don’t imagine that you can operate it under a flowing tap.
7. Power Pod
The power pod is an efficient and circular power pod with six sockets, neatly arranged around the top of the circular shape. It comes with a desk tidy that can remove the mess from your table and make way for a neat workspace. The centre of the power strip occupies the on/off button and the reset button is located underneath the strip. The desk tidy can be used when the strip is not in use or it can come of help as a desk organiser or a pen jar which looks very elegant and stylish with its white body and circular shape.
8. Shift Design
The shift design is a three socket power strip that is still in its design stage. It has a stylish black body with a stand at one side. The sockets are designed to rotate so that various plug sizes can be accommodated. It sure looks promising except that it requires more power sockets.
