    Great Surge Protector Power Strip with USB Ports,,, but is has LARGE BRIGHT green lights
    Great Surge Protector Power Strip but is has LARGE BRIGHT green lights indicating "Protected" (functioning correctly) and Ground (ground connection confirmed).Not a problem in my home office but would be VERY bright in a bedroom, living room, etc.All our (4) APC surge protectors and (4) UPS at our home and office building have worked flawlessly great. We finally replaced a SmartUPS 1500 after it was in service for 10+ years powering and protecting our commercial real estate office's server rack.

    Reviewed in Canada on February 15, 2022
    Je viens juste de recevoir cet article. J'y ai branché de suite, une télévision intelligente Samsung QLED 55, une barre de son Samsung, une PS4, une PS5, une switch, un USB hub, une lampe, une antenne télévision (photo 1), maintenant j'ajoute un ordinateur DELL G7, un porte casque et enfin une borne HELIX.

    Caractéristiques : Les informations que je vous donne sont absentes du site du constructeur, du manuel et d'Amazon, il s'agit du VPR inscrit sur le produit lui-même.
    Voltage Protection Rating = LN 330V LG 400V NG 400V. C'est le minimum requis pour avoir une bonne protection des appareils en cas de surtension même si les ordinateur et la télévision ont une protection de base contre la surtension (mais cette protection de base des appareil s'enclenchera largement passé 400 V pour un courant de AC120 V max) alors je préfère toujours avoir le Voltage Protection Rating le plus bas possible car je tiens à mes appareils ainsi qu'un minimum de 3200 joules.

    Pour l'instant sa durée de vie est acceptable (car une fois le voyant vert éteint, le produit est bon pour la poubelle car la protection n'est plus assurée), en ce qui concerne les performances protectrices en cas de surtension, elle a connu deux avis de tornades avec des coupures de courant.

    My adjustable bed frame manufacturer suggests using a surge protector to protect its electric motor. The Schneider APC allows me to also plug in my HomePod, toothbrush charger, watch charger and lamp on my bedside table and safely use them all without overloading. Neat if not so tidy.
