    Belkin 12-Outlet Pivot-Plug Power Strip Surge Protector with 8-Foot Power Cord, 4320 Joules (BP112230-08)

    • About a month and a half or so ago, lightning struck near our home, ruining those items plugged into this surge protector
    • We had a lightning strike near the house
    • Recently though i had a lightning strike very close by
    • This surge protector has the highest Joule rating on the market and lots of features, but missing 2 things:1) right angle wall plug2) built in socket safety coversFor me, this product is intended to be thrown away if a lightning strike happens, not "reset" or reused.
    • We've taken a couple nearby lightning strikes which blacked out the power
    • Easy to install easy to use the true test will come when lightning strikes close by causing a power surge.
    • A joule is the measurement of energy over time (e.g. the average lightning strike releases about one billion joules of energy over a fraction of a second), but who really talks in joules
    • I live in Florida where there are many lightning strikes and power surges
    • We haven't had a lightning strike yet to test the surge protection.
    • I trust Belkin because a lightning strike near our house fried the surge strip, but the computer equipment that was connected was not damaged.
    • I switched to these and after several lightning strikes I had nothing connected to these fail
    • Before I started using these outlet protectors I had several TV's burn up because of lightning strikes even though I had a surge protector in use
    • I swept and dusted as I unplugged and replugged everything, even tied up her wires all nice and neat at the end
    • If this one were to break I would immediately purchase another one.
