wow something for sale at Lee Valley under $20 bucks.... Hey Ryan that link you showed is that switches for each plug outlet??If so that is a way to go I would say.just flick the switch. Cool never seen one like that before...yeh I lead a sheltered life sometimes.

Remember to not just worry about price, you should really make sure that the powerbar isn't some cheap piece of plastic.
Make sure it is a grounded powerbar and uses heavy guage wiring. Look for a rating of at least 1800watts as well. It cost me a fair bit but I picked up a contractor grade one from Canadian Tire.

I've got a couple of the Coralife bars. What I like about 'em is the built in timers they have. What I don't like about 'em is the short cord they have.

Oh ya. Then there's that little fire risk thing. Not good.

Anyone know of a good quality powerbar with built in timers?

Thanx much,
