Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions who offers the best quality Surge Protector / Line

I'm guessing "walla" is Cajun?

Maybe it's the relatively benign weather in soCal, but I don't know ANYBODY who has lost appliances and/or electronics to power surges. Of course, no hurricanes, sleet storms, etc... (though earthquakes tend to pop a few transformers from time to time).

I don't think lights mean squat, they are not a indicator on most strips and I have never read that anywear except for Tripplite but maybe things have changed in the last few years.

When you see a blink-y power light on a surge protector, the more often it's dark, the more the MOVs have sacrificed themselves - that's why they're there. You can't assume that a power bar with a constant-on light has this feature... but when it starts a-blinkin' that's a good indication it's an indicator.
