Surge Protectors
Posted in 
The other day I needed another surge protector and I was trying to remember where I got mine from. They are all generic and white, it seemed more of expansion spots for power rather then a surge protector. So I went to the Mishref Co-op only to find it closed so I headed over to the Salwa Sultan Center and I was surprised to see that they had a decent selection. Ranging from 2.5 KD up to 4.5 KD depending on your needs. I took two of each, but I just needed one and I thought I would keep a surplus in the house for anyone who needed one since we didnt have any.
If your looking for something that is more a surge protector then an expansion slot then you should go with the Monster Surge Protectors, and I know they sell them at Centro Electronics. These surge protectors are not cheap for a reason, they range from 40 KD up to 97 KD.

Cyber: the thing is if you have important equipment you dont want to take the chance. Like in the summer with the power just going out!

this the 1st time ive heard bout such a device and shelling out almost KD 100 for this thing would be plain stupidity!! why? well u can always buy a
UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) for the half the amount,it not only protects you against sag n surge but also buys you enough time to save your work and turn off ur PC,gamin console,TV etc etc.
UPS s generally comes with a power backup of at least 10 mins to 3 hrs n over,the math here is simple: more the fuloos more the backup.

SOS: Depending what kind of UPS you get, but most UPS arent that cheap either most of them are 70 KD and above. And the cheap ones arent that good.
