I know Michael Gartenberg was looking for an easier way to better manage power settings on his Mac and Lights Out might be the answer. This $8.99 application offers far more power management settings than the standard Energy Saver applet in OS X. With it you can specify the number of minutes or hours before these functions and more:
- Screen dimming
- Disk sleeping
- CPU sleeping
- Logout
- Shutdown
- Customized Energy Saver settings at the individual application level
Come to think of it, this looks like a small subset of Vista’s power management settings! Did I just say that out loud? *ducks* Will you folks stop throwing things at me if I tell you there’s a free trial of Lights Out available? Go ahead and download it… it’s on me.
