Electronics used to have a light that came on when you turned on the device (mostly referring to T.V.'s). Now there's only a red light that comes on when the T.V. (or other electronic) is off. This is the off light. Electronic makers made this switch when they realized that society has become so dependent on these products that they spend more time with them on then they do with them off, so off lights actually save electricity.
