About time that I purchased a true surge protector for my workstation. Decided to go with the APC 11-outlet surge protector with USB charger ports.
I picked it up from Amazon Prime for $28.99 and love that it has the features I need with nothing extra – USB ports, block-spaced outlets for large adapters, and five in-line traditional outlets. The three LED indicators show problelms with wall wiring, the unit itself, and any overload. Additionally, it comes with a lifetime warranty and $250,000 worth of equipment protection.
I also took advantage of this new addition to do some cable management. No more cables on the floor! 😀
I had no idea that frequent episodes of flickering lights could indicate that the home has loose electrical connections. My friend told me that her home’s lights have been flickering lately, and it’s starting to get her worried. I’ll be sure to let her know that she might need an electrical panel replacement, and suggest that she get an expert to install it for her.
