Deal of the Week | Feb. 28, 2014: Remote-Controlled Switch Sockets for $12.99

Remote controlled switched sockets for $12.99We know, we know. You already have way too many remotes.

Probably a whole drawer full. Or maybe yours bedeck the entire top surface of the coffee table. We get it, because these days, pretty much everyone has a lot of remotes.

But this week, you may want to make room for just one more. Because this one lets you control two different lights, tools, appliances – anything you can plug into a standard outlet. And control them from up to 100 feet away. Use it to activate lights on the front porch of your home, from your car. Or to turn on the heating pad in the doghouse. Fire up the coffeemaker before you even climb out of bed. Use it anywhere you wish you’d installed a switch, in seconds.

And setup could not be simpler:

  • Plug each controller into an AC outlet.
  • Plug whatever you want to control into their outlets.
  • Done.

These two-packs are normally 30 bucks, but this week only you can pick them up for just $12.99. Find out more about our latest Deal of the Week here.

Deal of the Week | Feb. 21, 2014: Flexible-Neck Five-LED USB Computer Light for $9.99

Flexible-Neck Five-LED USB Computer Light for $9.99As the ancient proverb goes: It is better to plug a single LED light into a USB port than to curse the darkness.

Stop cursing that darkness already. Next time you find yourself on the red-eye in need of better illumination for your workspace than that which the puny overhead airline light can provide, this is your solution.

Five well-directed LEDs flood your tray table and notebook with pleasing white light – without waking passengers on either side. You can also use it at your desk, when wanting low-key, indirect lighting while you’re gaming or the like. And if you need to re-connect cables in the back of your desktop PC, slip this light into one of the USB ports on it case – and bam! All the light you need to see what you’re doing back there. To summarize: Its flexible eight-inch stalk offers precise directing of light where you need it, when you need it.

You don’t have to worry about batteries, AC adapters, or electrical outlets. Find an open USB port, and you are in business. For less than 10 bucks, it’ll be hard to find a more useful, affordable, portable light. But that’s all we’re charging for this week’s DOTW.
