You've heard of the uninterruptible power supply.... But have you heard of the interruptible power supply?

@martijnbraam I mean, I believe, I have an interruptible power supply to turn off my ceiling light, but yours definitely looks more interruptible...

@martijnbraam Oh, fun side tangent: Some years ago, the T-Flip-Flop-thingamabob (technical term) in my light switch burnt through, which turned on my light and meant I couldn't turn it off anymore....in my bedroom, at 4 in the morning.Had to use the switch on the fuse to continue sleeping.

@martijnbraamYes! These PSUs were commonly used in Dell desktops circa 2007 and had a green Led on the back of them. The brand name is on the tip of my tongue. They kept me so busy I had to triple the number of spares I kept, for a few years.
