Chauvet PC-08 15A Black-Faced Circuit Breaker Review

I own 2 of these circuit breakers (both purchased from Amazon.com) and they are perfect for controlling my lighting effects. The only problem I've had so far is one of the breakers once in a great while does not turn off when the switch is flipped. With some flipping back an forth it eventually turns off though so I believe its just a faulty switch. All the other breakers work fine. Overall I got this product mainly for the great price and so far it's serving my needs well!

American DJ PC-100A 8 Channel Power Strip with Lighted Toggles Review

American DJ PC-100A 8 Channel Power Strip with Lighted Toggles
Average Reviews:

Bought two of these for my home office. The cost of electricity just when up 38% per kilowatt hour by me. First strip is in an equipment rack controlling network gear like DSL modem, firewall, Enet switches, KVM switch, monitor, speakers. It's worked fine.
The second strip is in my office controlling the desk top PC, 3 printers with print servers, various USB hubs, speakers, monitor and such. A problem has come up when using it with the desk top PC. Using the power strip switch to turn on the PC causes the individual switch to fry. And it's stuck in the ON position with the light illuminated, not a failsafe design.
Happened to two positions on the power strip. Measured the peak and steady state watt draw of the PC, I'm and engineer and have such instruments, and it's way within the power strip specs. Using a different power strip with a switch on the PC has never been a problem, that's what I used before. Removed the laser printer from the power strip just in case.
I'll replace the power strip switches rather than RMA the entire power strip. Internally the wiring and outlets can handle the advertised load but the switches cannot.

Eliminator Lighting Controllers PL-07 Stage Light Accessory Review

I slid this behind my entertainment center and use it to switch off my A/V equipment and other stuff at night to stop the drain of vampire energy. I plugged it into an actual surge protector for a little extra protection (this has a 15 amp circuit breaker built in but is NOT a surge protector - no MOVs on this thing).
A master switch would be nice for those nights I want to turn off EVERYTHING (including modem, router, etc). But it does exactly what I want it to and I like the fact that it's called the "Eliminator" - it fits in very well as I tend to give my AV components similarly badass nicknames.

Great item. Works well. However I can't get past the fact that it is made of plastic. Somehow you spend thousands on a urei, and hundreds on the eq, etc and then you add a plastic led display. I would gladly pay double for a metal one that is accurate.

American DJ PC4 Four Channel Power Strip With Lighted Toggle Switches Review

American DJ PC4 Four Channel Power Strip With Lighted Toggle Switches
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Electrical sockets for plugs are mounted in a fairly stupid way. One might expect that this item was built for rack or panel mounting, but it appears to be designed for use while laying on a desk. If you look at Amazon's photo of the item and consider that it is basically a rectangle, the sockets are on the top surface of the rectangle - not on the rear surface parallel to the front. I say that it is "basically a rectangle" because it isn't really - the front surface with the switches on it is actually tilted slightly, with the top surface being higher than the lower one. Again, this would tilt the controls towards the user were the unit laying on a desk. That's well and good, but I have too much junk on my desk already. The mounting holes in the bezel seem more cosmetic than functional.
As for the quality of the item itself, it isn't terrific. The switches aren't mounted straight. The front bezel is made out of fairly small-gauge sheetmetal, and on mine it is actually bent (probably from shipping, there wasn't much padding in the box). But it's $15, so it's not like I was expecting anything terrific.
This is a pretty nice item for the money, but it's not correct for my application. I suspect that goes for a lot of other customers who order it expecting a scaled-down version of American DJ's eight-switch unit. Amazon ought to improve the description or provide pictures showing just how this item is different. It's okay if you want something that sits on a desk, but I don't, and I'll probably be exchanging it for the eight-switch model.
