Enlighten was a student led project designed by myself and 4 other undergraduates at CPUT in South Africa. Enlighten aims to address South Africa's ongoing energy crisis in a manner that creates user awareness, without interruptions or distractions from their daily lifestyle.

With the rising use of technology, naturally energy consumption is increasing. A substantial contributing factor to energy consumption is the energy consumed by a device when it is not in active use but still plugged in, this is known as Phantom Load.

Enlighten is a smart plug that can detect phantom load when electronic devices are idle. It signals users to disconnect and save.
