How to Choose the best SURGE PROTECTOR

Belkin SurgePro BV108050-06 8-Outlets Surge Suppresor
Belkin SurgePro BV108050-06 8-Outlets Surge Suppresor

Pros: ·Buy the right number of ports. ·Consider the gear you'll plug into the surge protector. ·Check for the UL seal, and make sure it's a "transient voltage surge suppressor." Making sure that the surge protector you're planning to buy is both certified by Underwriter's Laboratories, and at least meets their UL 1449 standards (required for the label "transient voltage surge suppressor,") will make sure the surge protector you take home will actually protect the equipment you plug into it. ·Check the surge protector's energy absorption rating, and its "clamping voltage." The absorption rating is, as the name implies, how much energy it can absorb before it fails. You'll want something at least 6-700 joules or higher. (Higher is better here.) The clamping voltage is the voltage that will trigger the surge protector—or essentially when the surge protector wakes up and starts absorbing energy. Look for something around 400 V or less. Lower is better here. Finally, see if response time is listed in the product details—it's good to know, and lower is better. · And for last, Check the warranty. Some surge protectors warranty the devices connected to it for some amount of damages if a power surge does get through. Check to see what's covered (and what isn't), and how you can file a warranty claim if the surge protector fails. -IMPORTANT TO KNOW:As far as cost, the most expensive is not always the best. The best thing to do is figure out what you need to protect and buy accordingly. This Belkin Model is really accurate, high quality building and enough joules to support your best technology. Be sure you're getting the best of the best.

Cons: none at all.

Overall Review: Don't Daisy Chain Multiple Surge Protectors: Odds are you've daisy chained, or plugged a power strip into another power strip or surge protector, when you were desperate for more outlets. It's tempting, and it's easy, but it's also dangerous. Charles explains:P As far as daisy chaining surge protectors, it doesn't work. The first strip will trip if a second is plugged into it and used. In theory power strips can be daisy chained since they lack surge protection, however I would severely advise against it. Remember in "A Christmas Story," when they had all those cords plugged in at once and it blew a fuse? Yeah, it's kind of like that except that overloading the circuit can create the source of ignition for an electrical fire.P

Good Quality & Price deal!

Rosewill RSL-112 - Single Head PIR Motion Sensor Solar Light

Pros: Excellent quality, with only one bulb led, is so bright! large cable from the lamp to the solar panel. lamp is good quality plastic but for the price is great. I just order, and arrives fast from newegg, i did not expected too soon, so it's great service.

Cons: I do not know if the plastic should last for years because the is under the sun, but is OK for the deal price.
