No on/off switch - only plug/unplug to wall

Decent light but does not have a on/off switch, as most others do. Have to plug in and unplug from wall each time you use. My wall plugs are not conveniently located so I returned.

I chose this one to put on my desk so I don't have to find an outlet to plug in the adapters that come with my devices.  Part of my choice is that it has a power switch so it eliminates "ghost currents" when not in use.  The only thing is that it would be nice if there was an "on" indicator LED - since there isn't, I just have to check the switch position.  At this point, I haven't used the outlets - only the USB charging function.

When "off", the switch has a blue LED which is quite bright. No duplexing so both outlets as a whole are on or off.

it works well enough but small complaint; it does not have the power switch it shows in the product pictures. not a huge deal but definitely a pain to have to plug/unplug all the time.

Dislike the power switch, otherwise love it.

It seemed to work fine provided I didn't want to leave something on all the time unless manually turned off. And that's the problem, because that's exactly what I was trying to do: have an AC window unit running except when I was in the room it was in. It would randomly turn off, seemingly without any rhyme or reason.

I was really searching for a hallway emergency light that would just come on if the power goes out. But I couldn't find one that didn't have a nightlight, or at least a unit with a switch for the nightlight. Since this is installed in an area that is normally dark, the nightlight is always on. However, it DOES work when the power goes out, so that's something.

I can't believe there are no emergency power lights that don't include a night light function. Very annoying.

Under most desks and behind TVs there are all those power bricks and devices that are always sucking power. I discovered a product (with an incredibly lousy name) called Bye Bye Standby. You plug it into the wall and plug your power strip(s) into it. It comes with a nice little remote so with the press of a button, everything is REALLY off. Under my desk I have my cable modem and router permanently powered up and all the other stuff plugged into this device. When I quit for the day I hit the remote and all printers, scanner, speakers, etc are really off. Behind the TV, I only leave the Tivo box permanently on, the other stuff can be turned off with another remote. The savings in electricity should be significant.

By-the-way, I previously bought a similar Belkin device called Conserve that was lousy. The first one was defective and I had to return it. The replacement was equally bad. The Bye Bye Standby above is a set of two and is half the price of the single Belkin device!

it doesn't even have switch to turn it on and off -  in order to use it you have to plug it in and unplug it each time !!!!!!!!!!

Well designed as a plug end -- but "lighted" function needs work. Plug Light only visible in low light scenarios -- totally invisible in daylight.

Good, but has no on/off switch!  Can't believe that.  The only way to turn it on is plug it in.  To turn it off, unplug it!  Seems to work fine, but really!

There is no way to turn the lights off without unplugging them. That is disappointing, as it is a hassle.

Nice having the two side outlets but like other reviewers have mentioned, it's very easily to accidentally turn off the surge protector. The switch is super sensitive.

I just got my lightbox today and quickly put it to test. I noticed that there is no on/off switch. Every time I want to turn it off I have to unplug it. I wish they would have added a switch instead of unplugging it. Two LED lights inside, one on the left side and one on the front. I think having a third light on the right side would have been more even light and brighter. Overall, its a great lightbox. The lights heat up very quickly so I make sure to unplug it in between uses.

i wanted to reduce the wires ...
not practical as it requires another wire  to attach to wall outlet

There's no power switch, so you have to loosen the seal to turn the light off. It's ok for the price but a toggle without opening the light would be more ideal.
