The Power Strip Just Got Modular With YOUMO

smart-modular-power-strip-640x533

Modularity is in, in the gadget world. The idea is that you can customize your device with hardware add-ons, so that it does more of what you want, and less of what you don’t care about. The power strip just got the treatment with the YOUMO. It lets you connect up to 7 different modules, that range in function from wireless charging, to multi-USB, to LED light. Simply plug the base cord into your wall socket, and configure the rest of the strip to your liking. The company is even planning to develop more modules with expanded functionality like WiFi Repeater, and Wireless Speaker. Prices start at €39 (around $42USD) for the base cord plus 2 modules of your choice, then it’s about a €10 increase for every additional module. It’s a Kickstarter campaign that’s now fully funded, with shipping expected in February 2017, almost a full year away.

Deal Of The Day: 10% Off On PowerCube Original USB

redesign_PowerCubeOG_MF1_1214

Electronics need to remain juiced up, and that means you’ll have multiple power cords vying for the same outlets. That’s when power strips usually enter the picture, but they don’t all have to be boring eyesores. The PowerCube Original USB features 4 outlets and 2 USB ports in a cubic configuration, which prevents bulky transformers from blocking access to an adjacent outlet. There’s a resettable fuze that’ll blow at 15 Amps, so your electronics don’t fry in the case of a surge. Normally you’d pay $20 for this, but today it’s $18.

Besides the all in one aspect, what we really like about the Pickup Power is that the portable battery doesn’t require any extra cords to charge up- it just sits neatly in the power strip so it’s easy to pop it in and out when you need it. You know exactly where it is, no need to search around or worry about whether it’s charged up or not- it’s there for you. Nice combination of products from Quirky.

Lightning Bolt Power Strip

lightning bolt power strip Lightning Bolt Power Strip
I’ve got the power! The Lightning Bolt Power Strip takes a familiar form (the power strip) and shapes it into another bright yellow familiar form (lightning bolt). Hopefully you’re not too familiar with lightning. It’s pretty neat because most power strips are strictly functional and they can’t always be tucked away out of sight, so this adds a little flair to an everyday electrical item.
