Anyway the green light is on (and its bright too let me tell you
My home's voltage surges and dips on a regular basis so after enough surges, the Thermally Protected MOV's eventually failed (green LED no longer lights up as protection has diminished).On dips, my microwave oven clock is the best indicator since it resets.
However, I recently noticed that the very bright green light had gone out, probably after a recent storm outage, so I replaced it.
The bright green light is very nice and noticeable letting me know it's working

This is sort of a middle of the road model, with lesser priced ones offering only 3 way protection while this one is 6 way (protection between line 1 and line 2, line 1 to neutral, line 1 to ground, line 2 to neutral, line 2 to ground, and neutral to ground) and more expensive models providing phone and cable TV protection I don't need

It basically died protecting our home - what it was designed to do.
It has protected my entire home after several energy spikes.
My home's voltage surges and dips on a regular basis so after enough surges, the Thermally Protected MOV's eventually failed (green LED no longer lights up as protection has diminished).On dips, my microwave oven clock is the best indicator since it resets.
and we'll keep our fingers crossed that it'll protect the home

Eases my mind that my appliances are better protected.
If you're in a home where power surges or brown outs are common, this is well worth the money to protect your appliance, especially those sensitive electronics.
We didn’t lose a single appliance
The resulting surge voltage damaged several appliances, fluorescent bulbs and fixtures, and EVERY surge protector in the house

We had not electronic damage, the neighbor across the street lost all electronics.
Hopfully I will never need another one but for the cost it is well worth saving your sensitive electronic
This should protect our electronics should we take a strike.

I figure that it protected items in the house from a powerful surge
I've never suffered from any devastating surge, but for the price, I decided that it's cheap insurance for all the electronics and appliances in the house.
only problem is you don't really know if it's working other than not having surges that destroy things , so it's safe to say they/ this works , i had an older unit that had been installed for16 years and never had anything damaged by a surge or lightening and i get lots of close strikes around my house .
Lesson: don't buy cheap surge protectors

I have yet to see a negative review stating that someone had this device installed, yet suffered the consequences of a lightning strike or surge spike
I keep an extra one in the basement in preparation for the next potential lightning strike.
I must assume that I'm ready for the next lightning strike that happens so often with our Phoenix AZ area summer monsoons
Recently, we had a very close lightning strike where the explosive sound came at the same time as the flash, and the green light went out
