They have you *subjectively* fearing a mythical anomaly. How often do your incandescent bulbs brighten or even dim to 50% intensity? Ideal voltage for electronics is even when incandescent bulbs dim to 50% intensity. Where is this destructive anomaly that will be cured by a line conditioner?
A useful line conditioner defines what anomaly it addresses with a number. [/QUOTE
My lights dim maybe once every day. So you agree that the voltage fluctuation is harmless? That's what we concluded, so I was more concerned about lightning and I do remember you recommending a "whole house" surge protector for that.
Was just wondering if there is any easier way like "brick wall", "sureX", "isobar" etc. Or do the conditioners provide better surge protection?
You say some are the same as cheap walmart powerstrip, which ones are good?
