In this episode of Midstream Lighting’s Knowledge Hub Podcast, we dive into the often-overlooked world of surge protection devices (SPDs) and their crucial role in safeguarding your LED floodlights. As your host, I explore why these small yet mighty devices are essential for protecting sensitive electronics from damaging voltage spikes, whether from lightning strikes or everyday appliance use. We break down the different types of SPDs—type 1, type 2, and type 3—and their specific roles in a layered defense system. Discover why proper installation is key and how consulting with an electrician can ensure your setup is effective. Join me as we shed light on how investing in SPDs can save you from costly replacements and provide peace of mind.
