Whenever you need to plug in multiple items at once, you can rely on power strips to get the job done. Power outlet strips allow users to extend the amount of available plug inputs so they can use multiple devices at once. They are incredibly useful in a variety of settings, and are designed to protect your electronics by providing a steady supply of power to them. And that’s not all they do – learn more about power strips below!
What Should Be Plugged Into a Power Strip?
Just about anything that has a standard outlet plug can be used with a power strip. Of course, some things need more energy than others, so be sure to unplug devices that need a high wattage to operate, like small kitchen appliances. Table lamps, televisions and telephones can all be continuously plugged into power strips because they need relatively little electricity to operate.
Do Power Strips Save Energy?
One of the most common features that power outlet strips offer users is the ability to switch the strip on and off to help conserve electricity. In most American homes, outlets have a constant stream of energy flowing to them, which continuously powers whatever devices are plugged into them whether they’re being used or not. But, with a power strip, you can choose whether or not that energy flows to the things that are plugged into it.
There are even smart power strips that automatically detect when a device is in sleep mode. When it does, it shuts off automatically in order to conserve energy.
How Often Should a Power Outlet Strip Be Replaced?
Power strips should be replaced every 3-5 years, but some factors (like overheating or overloading) can shorten the lifespan before then. Surge protectors and power strips only last for around two years because of their added ability to protect devices against electrical spikes. Some models of power outlet strips and surge protectors have lights that indicate when they are on the verge of needing to be replaced, which gives users the chance to buy new ones.
Can You Use an Electrical Outlet Strip Outside?
You should avoid using a power strip or surge protector outside, especially if you live in a damp or humid environment. Bugs, dirt, water and other elements or debris can find their way into unused outlets and cause the power strip to malfunction. Alternatively, Staples offers extension and power cords that can be used for indoor and outdoor purposes.
