This video shows a 3-pack of electrical switches was purchased from Amazon.com in 2016. Each individual Belkin switch plugs into your wall A/C plug-in electrical outlet. If you frequently plug-in and unplug a device such as a toaster, TV, or internet router, these Belkin switches allow you to easily switch the device on or off instead. It is an alternative to electrical timers, and saves on wear-and-tear on your power cords.

The Belkin 3-prong switch only draws power when the switch is turned on, as indicated by the green light. When switched off, the Belkin switch stops delivering electricity to the device that is plugged into it, and the green light goes off. These Belkin switches are great for people who are trying to save money on their electricity bills each month. The switches save you the most electricity for devices that are on "standby" such as televisions, DVD players, and VCR's because even when these devices are turned off, they still draw some electrical current (just like a stove's pilot light is always lit).

These Belkin switches are 3-pronged, unlike some cheaper switches on the market that have only 2 prongs (and lack the 3rd "ground" post).
