a switched power strip
Individually switched is the key feature. The power strip, now gracing our bedroom, has a switch per socket on the extension. This means I can turn off the plugged in devices one at a time.
This is a simple benefit, I can leave the power strip plugged into the wall sockets and have the power strip beside my bed, I can turn off phone or computer power supplies easily and quickly. Also the light ( and power supply) is now controlled from this switch. Each country does these differently, in fact the cumbersome UK plugs are a benefit here, there size means that there is space for a switch.

Hi Gavin,
Where did you source the power strip featured in this post? After reading your articles I'd like to get a few for my studio. :)
Also, a slightly tangental question, but you might be the right man to ask: Do you know of any power strips that have been designed by a "designer" or "design team"? Focusing on the product/industrial design aspect of the power strip and breaking out of the mould of the "white plastic power strip".
Cheers,
