I remove surge parts from all my strips. They do what they say which is the opposite of what you want. You want them to stop lightning. What they do is offer lightning more paths to damage your equipment.

Lately I've been removing the power switches too. By accident is the only way they get turned off. I like almost hospital grade plugs for next to nothing.
