Does this still work or do you have a deal for something comparable? Sorry to sound ignorant but I often worry having a bunch of stuff on a 5 dollar Walmart power surge thing. I don’t even know what happens if I overload it. Blow breaker? I have so many plugs. Don’t want to burn the home down but I don’t even know what it’d take to cause that but this big power supply looks quality and safe. Thanks

Running too many watts on a circuit that can't handle the load is all it takes. Find out what size breaker you're using.

I hardly ever see or remember expiration dates, but you can always enter it and see for yourself if it works it not. I see at least 20 surge protectors a week so if you don't mind waiting till I get home later tonight I could post a few.

I’m in a made in 2002 mobile home man…. Can’t be anything major. This is my biggest worry. All my grow room gear is all… plugged into that room in some way. And it’s 600…800…. About 1200 watts of lights (veg and flower tents) and plenty of fans and a huge hydro pump that’s I think 60 or 80 watts….

Realy don’t wanna burn my home down man and I’m not trying to derail this thread but would you possibly advise getting a high quality surge protector like this one in the deal?

I’m sorry I wasn’t trying to be lazy. I’m not a huge Amazon user, but when I clicked the link (before I asked) it said click this coupon to save 15 percent. I did that, then went to checkout and add coupon code. I went to I guess it said “promos and offers” box (only box I could type in) and I pasted the code and nothing happened but I’m inexperienced coupon shopper as I said I possibly did it wrong only reason I asked. Thanks man.

The surge protector would be good, but you possibly could be pulling too many watts on that circuit. Find your breaker box, find the breaker for the room you have all your grow equipment on and see what number is on the end of that breaker. 1800 watts max on a 15 Amp breaker at 120 volts. You wanna stay under 70% of that so.....1260 watts on a 15 amp/120 volt breaker.

Don't skimp on surge protectors. It's also better if you can plug them into different outlets even if you can't put them on their own circuits.

I see. I also tried the code and hit enter and it came back as "invalid code" so it's definitely expired.

If I remember correctly there are some people here that were electricians, maybe they can point you in the right direction so you'll know what you're working with. To be on the safe side.

I bought it.
IMO, only one light per strip (1000w) and be careful of high power needs devices, chiller, a/c, dehumidifier... How much to overload it? 1000w light and a 900w heater.
What will happen? Simplest outcome, the internal breaker on the power strip will trip and the unit won't work. Worst case scenario, all breakers on that circuit fail to trip, high power and current usage degrades your wires and the weakest point catches fire.
Those cheap ass Walmart strips offer little to no surge protection and i would be a bit leery of the quality of internal components.
