Yeah I am aware of the cheaper surge protectors, but this system setup specifically is not used nearly as much as my other set up on the other side of the room that has my Computer, PS4, PS5, Ninswitch and various other devices and consoles. So i take the small risk I guess that I don't use it as often so chances of discharge due to a lightening strike with the equipment on is unlikely.
This is the type of Surge Protector I purchased for my main setup which I use far more frequently.

Our Power rating in the house is 220V at 20A from what I know from our circuit breaker. How ever I do have a question but I have alot of things connected into this room, probably including about 4 different power strips and surge protectors but obvously not connected together, there on seperate outlets. Would that potentual cause an overload? I have had issues with my lights flickering as well from time to time but I don't know if its a cuse of circuit overload or because it could just be a dimmer switch problem as well that I seem to notice or some sort of eletrical short behind the light switch panel.
If a power strip is connected to a wall receptacle, then it is used constantly. Surges (lightning is only one example) can do this to power strips. Those must be protected by a properly earthed 'whole house' solution.
Worse, protector strips can compromise (bypass) what is better (superior) protection inside electronics.
Shape of a plug and protector's receptacles say that is 120V service. Not 220V. It may be powered by a 20A breaker. But that power strip can only (safely) provide 15 amps. Therefore, safe power strips have a 15 amp circuit breaker.
Where is that necessary circuit breaker on that near zero joule GE power strip? Forgotten to increase profits.
So many reasons why GE products are discouraged. And why a 'whole house' protector should be earthed in the main breaker box or meter pan. Since this protector needs that protection.
As Lizzie also saw:
Lizzie Steinmetz, 5, was getting ready for bed with her little brother when she heard a strange noise. "It was like a buzzing noise sound," Lizzie said. She said she saw flames shooting up from a surge protector sitting on top of her dresser.
Why do so many not know any of this? Then recommend Type 3 protectors ... that must be far from earth ground so as to not try to do much protection.
Best power strip has a 15 amp circuit breaker, no protectors parts, and a UL 1363 listing. Educated homeowners always connect one Type 1 or Type 2 protector low impedance (ie less than 10 feet) to earth ground electrodes. Then EVERY household appliance is protected from surges created by stray cars, linemen error, tree rodents, wind, and utility switching. And from lightning. For many decades. For about $1 per appliance.
