ezGear ezSpace UFO Power Extender is perfect for holiday lights

By Brenda Stokes on Tuesday, Dec 2nd 2008 2 Comments

ufo 6gr side One thing I think a lot of people run into during the holidays is trying to find enough power outlets for all of their decorations. With a couple of strings of lights on my Christmas tree and other light-up decor, I need a compact solution to power it all up.

The ezGear ezSpace UFO Power Extender is the perfect way to keep all of your lights lit without A) causing a fire and B) using all of your outlets. This thing is extremely versatile, apparently. The patented design makes it so a power transformer can fit on every plug in a very compact way. The slanted angle, makes for more space saving, I guess.

With up to 1050 Joules of surge protection and six outlets this thing has you covered. The built-in switch makes turning on your lights in a snap easy. You can get the ezGear ezSpace UFO Power Extender now for $24.99.

By James Allan Brady on Friday, Apr 18th 2008 1 Comment

The Energy Saver Bar is a lot like that gadget that Belkin came up with, but far less cool. Essentially you plug in all of your home theater equipment, preferably the kind that won’t suffer drastically from having its power completely cut, and then when you are done, you turn ever thing off, and then hit the button on this power strip and watch the energy savings go up.

Belkin Clamp-On Surge Protector

By Christina Crouch on Tuesday, Jan 22nd 2008 No Comments

There are a few main things that people are likely to focus on when buying anything: does it take up a lot space, how versatile is it and how accessible is it. If your product falls within a decent range on any of these fronts people are more likely to pick it up without even worrying about the cost. In my opinion the clamp-on surge protector from Belkin fills all these shoes nicely.
