[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 443831, member: 250"] baddayexplode So...... is the "real" question here... does a USB phone charger (or similar device) consume power if the other end of the USB lead is not plugged into a Phone / Ipad / GoPro / Torch / 'Other USB powered item"... Which IMHO is a reasonable question.... Or.. if the question is genuinely "does a socket with nothing plugged in consumer power".... Then that has got to be a wind-up surely??? :C I guess a similar question could be..... Does a lamp emit light when switched on... or absorb all of the light to make it dark when switched off??? :popcorn [/QUOTE]
