Innovative, Eco-Friendly Gadgets


In honor of Earth Day, let’s take a look at a few tech items designed to save energy.

The Hue Lighting System revolutionizes lighting in your home. The light bulbs connect to a wireless network that with a smart phone app allows users to adjust the brightness, remotely control the lighting, and it even lets you change the color of the lighting. You can also use the app to set a timer so instead of using an alarm clock the lights will turn on when it’s time for you to wake up. Hue uses 80% less energy than standard light bulbs while providing a new, innovative lighting system.


The Conserve Switch AV does more than your average surge protector. It comes with a remote that wirelessly lets you turn off any devices that are plugged in. It also has two outlets that always stay on for devices that need continuous power.


The AM05 Hot + Cool fan is bladeless, but instead uses Air Multiplier technology that amplifies surrounding air to completely cool or heat a room. This fan uses 30% less energy than traditional ones and when combined with central air conditioning, it can lower energy bills by 20%. It is energy efficient because the fan automatically turns itself off once the room has reached the selected temperature.


This Earth Day celebrate by checking out one of these eco-friendly technologies!
