Not sure, but don't you have to change the filter module reguarly in them ones.

 

[RF Lighting]

You only have to change the filter if there has been a nasty spike on the supply, which doesn't happen often.

I had a look in B&Q today, and there were still none on te shelves

 

[VanSolo]

I've had them in my house for years and the filters have been ok.
Hey! Who turned off that intern.........................

 

[oharaf]

Sorry I am a stupid arse.

What the hell are they? Is it like individual surge protection or summit???

 

[RF Lighting]

Yeah, basically. You'd normally use them in IT suites and the like.

I'm snapping them up for all my theatre sound equipment and my lighting desk

RF, on the website, you can reserve stock for collection. Have any stores near you got any?

Do you want me to check the ones near me? There's one in the town centre & another about 2 miles from home. I'll gladly check if you wish & snaffle the stock for you.

We used them at work to protect delicate electronics for voltage spikes. These units protect against any large voltage spikes. We had them on a pager system. I want them to protect my rack servers in my house and Cisco routers.

They have a spacer so they stick out about 20mm from the surface. Fit into a normal 25mm backbox.

intresting, i have gone through ...

1x sky HD box
3x skyboxes (normal)
2x wirless routers
2x main cable routers.

Thats in a year! i was under the impression that as the routers are 12 v with transformers and that the transformers would protect them?


Does it sound like i need one of these?


O and i also had a Denon amp that popped after a few weeks. Denon replaced under garranty tho. It was never turned up over half way and the speakers are B&W with all high quality power/speaker/hdmi/optical etc cables connecting it all together. So i dont think its something to do with the bits connected to it.

What do you think?

 

[mattysupra]

anyone?

Dont want them all sold to you lot if i could benefit from one
