Power Mate Lite Energy Meter

Have you ever wondered why your energy bill is so expensive? Now you can isolate specific appliances to find out which ones are costing you the most. The Power Mate Lite energy meters measure the power an appliance uses both when in operation and also in standby mode - which can account for 10% of electricity consumption in the average home. The Power Mate Lite can also measure how much an appliance is costing you and also the amount of greenhouse pollution it creates.

Available to borrow from Byron Shire libraries.
