Fool the Thieves - Save the Energy Bill

Do you or your partner find yourselves leaving lights on at night or when you go out in daylight and expect it to be dark when you return. Do you think you may targeted in the community as a potential house to burgle? Do you have some much expensive and priceless stuff that you just need to leave on that light for piece of mind? OK, so let’s say you do. Perhaps you even leave your television on to make it even more realistic. Not only is this bad for the enviroment, it will be adding useless costs to your electricity bills. FakeTV will come to the rescue.

With this little handy gadget, available on ThinkGeek, plugs into the socket in the wall, and makes various colour changes, flickering, fading and scene changes to make thieves think that your at home watching the television. It mimicks the real actions of a TV, without the cost of running one. In fact, it takes up 50 times less energy than an actual television does.

The gadget contains superbright LEDs, which constantly change colour, giving off the light power of a 27 inch television. Perhaps when the thief notices that a television is on (even thought it’s not) they may take a step back and look for a different home. After all, leaving a light or television burning electricity will just boost your bill, when there is an easy, well thought out solution just round the corner.

And for just $39.99, or around about £20 from ThinkGeek.com, this is a pretty good deal to give you that piece of mind without the price tag.
