This hub is like a compact surge protector that plugs directly into the wall outlet, which is a space saver and keeps things organized. It has 5 outlets and 4 USB ports(2 that are USB Type C) and a night light. The night light automatically turns on when the room is dark and turns off when it is light. It also has a manual switch that you can use if you don’t want to use the night light feature at all. On top of all of these great features, it provides surge protection as well to everything plugged into it.
