Remote Power

I’ve always liked the idea of remote controlling devices. I particularly like the idea of making stuff work without having to reach around to plugs and sockets. Today I went to Maplin and got some of these. They are not that expensive and they work really well. If you want to turn things off properly and remove the “curse of standby” I reckon they are worth a look.

Maplin is great for this kind of thing. I got a remote control lightswitch a while back from them, wired it in and I could remotely switch on/off the lights, AND dim them!

Good for getting up in the morning, if you switch the light on the first time your radio comes on, you wake up naturally by the time snooze wears off.
