Hi,

Sometimes when you feel the heating in a room is not enough, a portable space heater can be a less expensive option. They are also perfect for those times when you want to heat only one room thus avoid the cost of turning on the central heating system. By using the portable space heater, such as the Bionaire Safety Smart Heater, you can raise the temperature only where you want the heat, thus save on energy costs.

There are several types of portable space heaters you can choose from – heater fan, convection and ceramic, all of which heat the entire room, and the radiant heater, which provides focused spot heating. The Bionaire Safety Smart Heater, is the radiant type, which is really designed to provide heat to nearby people and objects, not the entire room. The Bionaire Safety Smart Heater, uses infrared radiation to heat up people and things that can be reached directly by the waves of energy emitted from the heater.

Radiant space heaters like the Bionaire Safety Smart Heater, are more cost-efficient in energy consumption when you wish to stay in a room for a few hours only. This way you don’t need to heat up the whole room; you only need to stay directly in the path of the infrared radiation.

The Bionaire Safety Smart Heater, is fitted with several levels of protection to ensure safety during its operation. It will turn off instantly if it tips over. It is thermostatically controlled, i.e. it shuts off automatically when temperature settings are reached, and comes with a sleep timer. Individuals in the family, who are sensitive to cold, or the elderly, will find this radiant heater very appropriate for their needs.

This is an electrical device so safety should be a prime consideration when you’re using space heaters. Place it in a location away from foot traffic, and keep children and pets away from it. Life has no reset button, think safety!

Hi,

It is only too obvious that lightning can cause large surges of power that can damage your computer. Few devices can protect your system from a direct strike, but if the storm is distant enough, a good surge suppressor can help. For good measure, you will want a suppressor that offers protection for telephone and fax equipment since your computer may be connected to these devices. The Tripp-Lite 10-Outlet surge suppressor with coaxial and telephone protection can provide the protection you need.

10-Outlet Surge Suppressor With Coaxial And Telephone Protection

You’ll want a suppressor that protects your computer against spikes (momentary but extremely high over-voltages) and surges (chronic over-voltages). These over-voltages come in from power lines and also through data lines (such as phone and network cables). The Tripp-Lite 10-Outlet surge suppressor with coaxial and telephone protection protects you from against surges from both sources. What other qualities should you look for?

A good suppressor must have a UL-1499 rating to qualify as a “true” surge protector, with a let-through voltage of 400V AC or less. Note that low-cost units have a lower UL rating (UL-1363) thus can protect only against modest over-voltages. There must be a fast surge clamping response time (1 nanosecond or less) to ensure the surge does not get through. The joule rating must be high, which implies that the device can dissipate greater amounts of electrical energy. If you check the features of the Tripp-Lite 10-Outlet surge suppressor with coaxial and telephone protection (click on the image), you’ll find it has UL-1499 with let-through of 330V, a response time of less than 1nanosecond and an AC suppression joule rating of 2395 joules.

It has the capability to accommodate 5 transformer plugs without overlapping into the other outlets. Instead of a fuse, you’ll find a 15 amp resettable circuit breaker so you don’t have to worry about a blown fuse. There is EMI/RFI noise filtration of up to 40dB, and an LED warning that indicates if your computer is properly grounded. Just as important — and a high quality surge suppressor should have this — the Tripp-Lite 10-Outlet surge suppressor with coaxial and telephone protection offers a $150,000 connected-equipment lifetime warranty.

If you use surge protectors like the Tripp-Lite 10-Outlet surge suppressor with coaxial and telephone protection with its high-quality features, you will be less vulnerable to power problems. Life has no reset button, think safety.
