Design Concept: Visualizing Power Usage

New concept power adapters from Gilles Belley monitor power usage and use a cool pattern of LED's to indicate when something is on standby. This is also an indicator that you have 3 minutes to press the nearby button before the power is switched off to the device--a great way to provide people with tangible and appealing means of understanding their consumption patterns, and taking action to conserve.

These are displayed as part of a larger exhibit titled So Watt! at Espace Electra in Paris. More here.
