I don't think anything stops a direct lightning hit. Certainly not $50 consumer surge protectors plugged into the wall.

I have a 100,000 amp whole-home surge protector (Siemens FS100) installed at the breaker box, but that won't stop a lightning strike either.

But it will EASILY handle typical non-lightning surges. Whether or not the consumer plug-in surge protectors are good enough depends on how spikey your supply might be.

A little hard to find places where you can order these in smaller quantities (no, amazon, that 12 pack is not happening).

I might need that 12 pack lmfao

Can we take down poe home security systems with a Tesla coil when they don’t have these

Zero clue as to effectiveness. You’re on your own here lads 🫡
