Lumsing Portable USB Power Strip At The Off Grid Homestead
I got this nice 5 port USB travel power strip which is now a permanent part of the off grid homestead.
With today's modern gadgets which are all charged by USB it seems like everything needs either a USB port or a 120 volt power adapter. I have a shortage of both.
I have been swapping out my cell phone, internet phone, camera and other devices in my two 12 volt cigarette lighter sockets with a USB adapter plugged in. This means that sometimes one device either must be unplugged in order to charge another or one just has to wait to be charged until later.
I use my small electronics heavily out here at the off grid homestead. You would think that out in the forest these things would not be useful but I make YouTube videos for a living so I do use my electronics a lot.
Lumsing sent me a 5 port USB travel charger to try out. At first I did not think that I would use a plug in the wall 120 volt charger that much because I am off the grid. But then again, converting any voltage to another is wasteful.
I have been converting 12 volts to 5 volts all along with my plug in cigarette lighter adapters. Now I can replace them all with one single power strip.
This USB power strip has two 2 amp charging ports for larger devices such as tablets and three 1 amp charging ports for smaller devices like cell phones, cameras and other small electronics.
I immediately plugged it directly into my power inverter and tried it out. I was surprised that I liked it right away. This frees up my 12 volt sockets for things such as a fan or other devices. Before I had to make a choice between charging my phone or running a fan.
Now I have 5 volt power to spare. I was using this Lumsing charging port so much that I decided to mount it to my entertainment center and make it a permanent part of The Off Grid Project.
This is also a travel charger which means that you can grab it and go on trips. Now you can take one single charger instead of a charger for each one of your devices. And now you can charge multiple devices at a time instead of looking for wall outlets and having cords strung out all over.
I am happy with it.
Thank you Lumsing.
