The electronics that we use in daily life today usually consist of an electronic switch which is controlled by a circuit that never shuts down. The circuit keeps on scanning the remote control of the device hence enabling you to operate the device remotely. Once the equipment is turned off it keeps feeding the circuit. That is the basic reason why equipment is said to be on stand by mode. Retrofitting of lights accounts for about half the savings while ceiling fans, TVs, refrigerators, and reduction in stand-by power account for another 40 per cent of the potential savings in households Learn More
