I never liked walking through dark hallways as a kid and neither do I like it now. Neither do I like trying to switch on the light when I have my hands full. And while in hotels and such this problem has been long solved with mild lighting, at home we’re still short of solutions. But even fear of the dark can be cured, with the Andev Sensor Plug.
Here’s what the producers say: “The SensorPlug Motion-Sensing Outlet is a passive infrared motion sensor that’s triggered when you walk past, instantly turning on a light or even an appliance, such as a fan or a radio. Since the SensorPlug inserts right into a wall outlet, you don’t need to wire it in.” It turns on the light for 2 to 6 minutes every time it senses a movement. It would be wise of you not to put it in bedrooms or any other rooms you’d like to sleep in, but it’s great if you need to stay awake and study for an exam or to detect burglars.

Having all the comforts of your home while traveling is something we all wish for (unless you’re aiming to rough it), and that includes having easy access to all your gadgets. Yesterday’s mini surge protector with USB charger was one example of how this can be attained. Today’s travel plug adapter from Kensington is another.
This one is aimed at world travelers. I’ve heard countless stories of people who went from the States to Europe (or the other way around), only to remember – too late – that they need an adapter for their laptop. Trying to find an electronics store in a foreign country, where you might not even know the language, is not really fun. The lesson here: be prepared.
This adapter has slide-out plugs which work in more than 150 countries, so you should be covered. It has a safety release button and a built-in fuse, but be careful how you use it, as it does not reduce or convert electrical voltage. Plus it’s small, so you don’t have to worry about how to fit it in your suitcase.
