Power Saver Scam EXPOSED!
Added 2019-01-10 21:32:56 +0000 UTCI think the most money these idiots make is by people like me buying them to debunk them!! They could also have placebo effect I suppose!

Haha, i had never heard of this so i had to Google it.. <a href="https://powerstar.com/what-is-voltage-optimisation/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://powerstar.com/what-is-voltage-optimisation/</a> My guess is that they take for example 240v and transform it to say 220(or similar for 120v). Might help lightbulbs live longer but probably a dubious effort energy wise since they will also have losses, instead of extra light from the bulb you get extra heat loss in the optimiser. Also, since on this page atleast they have a "fixed" "optimiser", if they are using that without measuring the actual voltage first they might be reducing the voltage 10% from an already too low level, say from 215 to 195. Probably not great for all devices. In general, huge fail. Might be OK in some edge cases, but if you need one it's probably better if the power company fixes their supply instead? Lastly, big Clive made this video: <a href="https://youtu.be/ZEFVNFyG9po" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/ZEFVNFyG9po</a> It's about the same topic. My guess is that his approach here is basically the same thing as the "fixed" version of a power optimiser.
2019-01-12 16:38:47 +0000 UTCCan you explain how a voltage optimiser works and if they are really worth fitting? As an electrician I have had to bypass a number of these because people complain that nothing works properly after they have been installed (social housing in the UK so they didn’t pay to get them installed) and just wondered if you have ever seen anything like this

2019-01-11 06:24:55 +0000 UTC"This video is unavailable." Will you reupload video or send a scope?

2019-01-11 06:03:35 +0000 UTCYou wouldn't have to re-upload if you were using a POWER SAVER!!

2019-01-11 02:47:29 +0000 UTCFun name. I like you.
2019-01-11 02:34:31 +0000 UTCMEHDI!! What have you done?!?! You big tease.
2019-01-11 02:14:40 +0000 UTCIt's gone... 😭
2019-01-11 01:23:07 +0000 UTCI saw the email - new content wah wah weewah!! "Ok, i will watch it in bed when i have 100% attention to the video". In bed. Video removed. I think this deserves a Keysight scope xD
2019-01-11 00:40:01 +0000 UTCLol, the time of writing this, the video went unavailable, first i thought it was some sort of inside-joke about the sponsor of this video... not.

2019-01-10 23:24:21 +0000 UTCI actually have bought a couple of these "power savers" for parts. There are a few out there with pretty nice anodized aluminium casings and a voltage readout, using a seven segment display.
