Power control system

A power control system configured to be inserted into a switchable socket and a wall socket, the wall socket constantly providing mains electricity, the switchable socket being electrically connected to a switch that is operable to switch the switchable socket between a conductive state to output mains electricity and a non-conductive state to not output mains electricity, said power control system comprising:

• a socket module configured to be inserted into the wall socket to receive mains electricity, allowing an electric device to be electrically connected thereto, and configured to provide mains electricity from the wall socket to the electric device upon wirelessly receiving a power-on signal and to not provide electricity to the electric device upon wirelessly receiving a power-off signal;
• and
• a remote control module including an electricity storage circuit that is configured to be electrically connected to the switchable socket, and that is configured to be charged by mains electricity outputted by the switchable socket when the switchable socket is in the conductive state,
• wherein said remote control module is configured to operate with electricity stored in said electricity storage circuit for wirelessly transmitting the power-on signal to said socket module when the switchable socket is switched from the non-conductive state to the conductive state, and for wirelessly transmitting the power-off signal to said socket module when the switchable socket is switched from the conductive state to the non-conductive state.
