Product overview
The Power-Mate Lite provides instantaneous and cumulative measures of power consumption, running costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, it projects these values going forward per hour, per week, per quarter and per year.
A simple menu allows the user to enter their own energy cost and greenhouse gas values as these vary by location and power supplier. The Power-Mate Lite also provides technical measures such as supply voltage, current, power, VA and power factor.

Why choose this over the regular Steplight Power Meter?
Steplight’s regular power meter is a lot less expensive than the Power Mate Lite. It is suitable for the vast majority of power meter users. We recommend you use the Power Mate Lite if you require a higher end energy monitor, for example:
- The Power Mate Lite uses a ‘piggy back’ style plug which means you can hold the meter in your hand while you measure an appliance that is plugged in at ground level. This is very useful for those who use the tool professionally or very often.
- The Power Mate Lite is an engineering tool that provides you with a great deal of information about power consumption and projected usage. As such, it suits users who are professional energy auditors, electricians, electrical engineers, or otherwise technically minded.
- The Power Mate Lite has industry leading accuracy and can be reliably left plugged into appliances for weeks on end to measure their usage.
Other Options
Power-Mate 15 Amp
The Power-Mate 15 Amp Power Meter offers all the functions of the Power-Mate lite. It is ideal for monitoring the energy consumption of a caravan or a commercial appliance with a 15 amp plug. Keep in mind the 15 Amp Power-Mate will not work with a standard 10 amp wall socket. 15 amp plugs have a larger earth pin than 10 amp plugs.
Power-Mate 10 Amp with Serial Data Output
The Power-Mate with built in Serial Output offers detailed analysis of equipment energy use over time. With all the features of the Power-Mate lite, the Power-Mate with built in serial output (RS-232) allows you to log data using the free Power-Mate software. Data is saved as a CSV file to your PC, suitable for excel spreadsheets.
Power-Mate Carry Pouch
A convenient cover / carry bag for your Power-Mate. Suitable for all models.
