Newegg.com - APC 675VA UPS for $55
(expired)

(repost)

The APC 675VA Battery Backup UPS is back on sale at $55 for one day.

This and other 600+ VA UPSs normally sell for at least $65. A similar APC with a slightly smaller battery sells for $65.

UPS keeps electronics online for a limited time during a power outage. 675VA can provide battery power to things like:
- A cable modem, router, or wifi access point for about an hour or more.
- A fish tank filter for about 45 minutes.
- A desktop computer and monitor for about 25-30 minutes.
Beware that your $55 investment will last for just 3-5 years. All batteries have an expiration date, and this battery is rated to last only until its 3-year warranty ends. A replacement battery costs $40, and is easy to install.

APC UPSs alarm loudly during a power outage, and these annoying beeps can be permanently silenced by plugging a computer into the UPS's USB port and configuring with their PowerChute software (Windows only, no Mac).

Amazon.com - 3-Pack TP-Link Kasa HS200 Smart Light Switches $35
(expired)

(repost)

3-Pack of TP-Link Kasa HS200 Smart Wifi Light Switches for $35 ($11.67 each). Shows as $40, and click the extra $5 coupon checkbox in the middle of the page.

Each of these replace existing light switches on your wall, and require an electrician to install. Angi.com is a good place to find a local electrician.

Electricians can charge anywhere from $20 to $50 per switch install, which is not cheap. Some electricians charge by the hour, which would likely be pricier than a per-switch fixed price. So, beware of the true cost for you to install smart switches versus getting smart bulbs and smart wall outlets.

We like Kasa switches, and compared them all:
- Kasa HS200 on/off switches (the 3-pack deal) are on/off switches, with no dimming capabilities. They support up to 300W max load (150W LED), meaning it can control a lot of lights on a single switch.
- Kasa HS220 dimmable switches is the dimmable model, with a major drawback. It supports up to 150W max load (75W LED), so a switch controlling 6 bulbs or more may push the switch beyond its limit, causing a safety hazard. Also, not every LED bulb supports dimming, and could cause damage when using non-dimmable LED bulbs on a dimming switch.
- Kasa HS210 3-way switches includes 2 switches per pack. They are functionally identical to the HS200 with a max wattage of 300W, and guaranteed to work with 3-way wiring.
All can be controlled with the free Kasa app, and with Google and Amazon smart speakers. They work with regular 2.4GHz wifi (not 5GHz).

Buying refurbished products can be risky, since they may have a shorter lifespan than buying new. Some refurbished items may have been defective then fixed, and could still be defective.

In some occasions, manufacturers may actually ship brand new products to buyers of their "refurbished" products. Yes, some "refurbished" products may actually be identical to brand new products, except at a lower price, if the merchant decides it is cheaper to rebrand new products as refurbished rather than fixing and re-selling defective products.

This marketing tactic can be a way for makers to sell more products to a market segment who waits for discounts, without de-valuing their retail prices. For example, a professional film maker would be okay with paying full price when buying a new camera lens for their next film project. A hobbyist would buy the same lens when the price lowers, but manufacturers do not want to de-value their lens to everyone by lowering its price, even for a short time. Manufacturers may also believe selling new products at a discounted price with less warranty coverage (labeled as refurbished) would be cheaper than fixing, certifying, and re-boxing each product returned to them.

Our experience had been about half of manufacturers ship brand new products when customers buy refurbished, when those items were mass-produced within 6 months and purchases were made directly from the manufacturer.

In the above deals, Anker, Sun Joe, Bose, and Rokinon products are sold direct from the manufacturer, so odds would be higher that your refurbished product may be brand new but with less warranty coverage. On Ebay, look for the seller's name to the right of the product price. Read the warranty details, as coverage and support will be worse than buying new item at regular price.

Amazon.com - 60,000mAh Portable Power Bank for $48
Romoss 60,000mAh Portable Power Bank for $80, and click the 40% coupon in the middle of the page to get it for $48.

If you are traveling or camping, and need a power bank to charge your phone for a week, this may be a deal for you. It may be powerful enough to recharge a phone's battery 20 times, until the bank runs out of charge.

Only buy if you need a giant power bank, and know the downsides, which may include:
- Heavy, at 3 pounds. About 2 pounds heavier than 10,000mAh and 20,000mAh power banks.
- Exceeds the limit allowed through airport security and airline baggage dropoff, so it cannot be brought on-board a commercial flight.
- 18W PD output, which is fairly low for a battery of this size. Other large-capacity batteries can output 30, 45, and 60 watt.
If you want a much more portable power bank, we like this 10,000mAh Power Bank at $24. It's small, charges itself within 4 hours using an 18W USB-C adapter (not included), and powerful enough to recharge a phone's battery 3 times.

- Some LED bulbs are not dimmable, and can damage your wiring if used with a dimmable switch. When usng a dimmable swich, be sure your bulbs are dimmable.
Have your electrician count your bulb wattage and dim-ability before choosing the dimmable HS220 over the on/off HS200. If you are unsure, go with the HS200.

For 3-way lights (two switches controlling the same light), TP-Link has a 3-way pack which includes 2 switches and made for 3-way wiring. The switches included in the HS210 bundle are functionally identical to the HS200, with a max wattage of 300 (150W LED).

(expired: sold out)

This deal beats the previous best price by $7, when it was $34 briefly in April, and the price had previously been steady at $40 to $50 for the last two years. Normal price for a portable battery with 60W USB-C output is about $50, so this deal is 46% off. Other quality battery packs with high-power USB-C output sell for about $75.

Backed by a 30-month warranty. Beware that RavPower has taken a hit since their products were removed by Amazon. As much as we like RavPower and hope their business continues to thrive, it is tough to predict whether they will be around for 30 months.

This power pack needs a 30W USB-C power adapter to charge. If you own a laptop computer that accepts USB-C power, you probably have a compatible power adapter. Tablet owners that have a USB-C power adapter will want to check its specs for 30W or above.

Otherwise, a power adapter is available for $24 with code RC33, and must be purchased in a separate order since RavPower.com accepts one coupon per order.
