Poweramid: 6 Outlet Power Multiplier
Posted in Appliances on 3 January 2008

poweramid.jpg

This might come forth too simple to be featured on a gadget blog…but the POWERAMID can indeed be the lifeline to many of your super gizmos.

Kreative Power’s POWERAMID is the pyramid shaped avatar of the good old power strip that used to go useless as and when 2-3 gadgets with those giant power plugs came into picture. The conical design of POWERAMID gives enough space to as many as six big power plugs.

And to add some zing to it is the on/off button at the top that also has a LED fitted in it. Nothing very great but definitely a pleasant and a rather progressive modification of the conventional power strip. Â
