The Smart Strip is worth every penny! I bought two, one for the TV and components and one for the computer and components. There is little setup involved, only real decision is figuring out which unit to make the switching outlet; in my case it was the TV and computer. When the TV or computer is turned on, the autoswitching turns on the other components. This is the best part of the Smart ...             Smart Strip LCG4 Energy Saving With Autoswitching Technology and Fax/Modem Surge Protection25 reviews Smart Strip Smart Strip Absolutely amazing product......

Excellent Price!! Great device! It's very slim, light, and the plug folds flat to fit in your shirt pocket or suitcase when traveling. I like the fact that I can travel abroad with this charger and that it's flexible enough to charge my iPhone and also my other USB-powered devices.

I received this about a month ago, and it has been a life saver. I have chronic pain in my back, and car rides are awful for me.

I have tread lights on my stairs in my house. They are needed to light up the very dark staircases, so they are on from dusk until bedtime (or longer if the kids leave them on). Each tread light receptacle requires two (not to exceed) 25watt bulbs and to access them to change them requires unscrewing the covers off of the fixtures. I bought these bulbs for the following reasons: a) one of ...             Leviton 612-6260M-00W Decora 60-30-20-10 Preset Minute Electronic Timer White11 reviews Leviton Leviton Excellent... Have had this timer installed for about two months and trouble-free. Installation is straight forward. This item requires a neutral wire hook-up. Unit sits deep so re-arranging existing wiring in box may be required. Simple to use and adds a nice, high-end feel. When switching on/off, makes less of a clicking noise than a manual switch. Overall, a great product.             Good Earth Lighting GL6543-BK-GLI Lincoln Park Tochiere with Opal Glass Diffuser, Black1 review Good Earth Lighting, Inc. Good Earth Lighting, Inc. Fluorescent tourchiere lamp replaces older quartz lamp Product works well, arrived on time, and is bright enough for reading and lighting the room.

There are some studies showing that natural light improves your mood, especially during the winter when there is less daylight. ...             Hunter 21617 Palermo One-Light 52-Inch Five-Blade Ceiling Fan, Brushed Nickel with Frosted Globe30 reviews Hunter Fan Company Hunter Fan Company Great Fan!

I got this to put in the hallway since my daughter LEAVES THE LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME. At 3 watts I won't complain about the light being on any more. The cons: They are a bit pricey, but I waited for a sale. The color is very blue, but it doesn't bother me. The pros: Only 3 watts and 50,000 hour bulb life. No mercury like in CFLs. Cool to the touch. These are very good bulbs if you ...             General Electric 97659 13-Watt (60 Watt equivalent) Energy Smart Soft White Spiral T3 Light Bulb 6-Pack1 review General Electric General Electric Goin' Green The light is near indistinguishable from that of an incandescent bulb.
