[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 341626, member: 13534"] Surge protectors = waste of money. There is, or was, a section in the regs concerning protection from lightning, but it explained in the regs. [red book] that it was not required in the UK as we did not have enough lightning, less than 25 a year, whereas all the other european countries have a lot more.. As to big sparks; When i was a kid years ago, there was lightning one day, and a big blue flash and a crack came out of the plug socket the telly was plugged in. Not sure what arced to where though, as the plug was in the socket [telly was off by the way] Did not appear to hurt the telly though or the socket!!! john.. [/QUOTE]
