The specification for Energy Star-qualified external power adapters was launched in January 2005 to address the growing energy use from the proliferation of consumer and office electronic products that use power adapters.
Since that time, many of the Ault-branded products have been redesigned to meet these strict requirements - resulting in an estimated 35% greater efficiency as well as adapters that are often smaller and lighter than conventional models.
'Increasing energy efficiency is important to our customers and we are committed to providing them with the most advanced power supply solutions', says SL Power's European Managing Director Nigel Davies.
'We all need to be aware of the Energy Star programme and its consequences for the global electronics industry and we also need to take note of the up-coming European Energy Usage Programme that will impact all of us involved in providing power sources'.
'The more efficient we can make our products, the better for all involved', adds Davies.
