The Radiplug switches items off rather than leaving them on standby so it will save the environment and your pocket. The Radiplug is also ideal for anyone who has difficulty moving around the home. Turn the kettle on from bed in the morning or switch off the TV - so no excuses for the TV to be on standby. This remarkable device allows anything with a plug socket to be remotely turned on or off from a distance of up to 30m. It uses Radio Frequency so the remote does not need to be pointed at the socket and can go through walls unlike Infrared. Each socket has 5 channels that can be set from the switch at the back, so if you had 3 lamps plugged in on different channels you could turn them on individually, or if set on the same channel you could turn them all on at the same time.
