Default I replaced a bunch of Class 2 wall warts with cheap switchers andsaved $

I got a 9 Vdc 1 Spot for all my stomp boxes, and a few X1 PST1200UF ,
(also sold under Hosa brand on Amazon)for computer speakers and Yaesu HT
charger that I leave on all the time. My electric usage is down 80 kWh
for the month. I have computers and radios on 24/7. I also got a few $5
LED nightlights at Lowe's. They're helping too. And I did my usual pagan
tribute to the sun lighting for the Solstice. Had about 1,000 lamps (all
LED).

All my computers use "80 plus" power supplies. My radios are on an
Astron switcher. Color me efficient.
