What can Lightning do for you? May 18, 2024, 07:05:30 pm Whole house surge protection ...Separate surge protection devices at electronics ...Surge suppressors on Ethernet lines running to detached garage ....Casualties:- UniFi 24 port switch- UniFi 8 port 150W PoE switch- UniFi in-wall access point- Low voltage landscape lights (fused the bulbs)- OTA Antenna booster- Generator control panel (power grid here is crap)- RPI model 4- StarLink router- Harmony hub- USB power strip- Rachio controller- LG C2 OLED Such fun!
Re: What can Lightning do for you? Reply #1 – Today at 03:34:18 am Lightning loves all those distributed paths to ground.. It took the dare, and laughed in your general direction.. ...so many choices.....to make...... all at once..(Why chose, when you can blow everything at the same moment?)"Arkle sparkle little twinkall flash fried in just a blink.."And the stuff that didn't blow up in the strike will likely start failing soon enough... But other than that, how did you like the >>BOOM<<? (or was is just a sizzle&pop sneaker? - those are particularly depressing..)
