In the End of 2001 BITS Limited decided to enter the Consumer Products Market after 15 years of sales, service & installation of medical equipment on a worldwide scale. The first product in this new market was the Smart Strip Power Strip with the LDG1 model. The Smart Strip Power Strip was invented while designing a better gradient system for an MRI. Our engineer Bruce Barton got tired of turning off all of the switches on his computer every night yet did not want to waste energy by leaving them on. Another Engineer noticed all of the offices we worked in had the same problem. Soon the LDG1 was another limited production design by BITS Limited. After a lot of requests by family members, friends & customers, we realized that this was the type of products that we wanted to design not more upgrades & new features on MRI's or CT scanner but something that makes life easier & helps the environment. It took more then one year of testing, changes & learning the differences between building a high volume production power strip & a limited production $10,000 Gradient amplifier. The first full scale production of Smart Strip was the LCG1 & LCG2 models which were completed on December 17, 2002.
