Does the product increase the chances of lightning hitting the house if a whole wall is covered with it?

No, it's reflective, not only does it reflect heat, but lightning and magic spells too. Feel free to drape it over your entire house.

It is installed to the main panel and provides protection to your entire home. I recommend that it be installed by a professional electrician. Not guaranteed against direct lightening strikes.

Depends on the orientation of the electrical box inside the wall, and whether the two screws that hold the body of the light itself will line up. Additionally, the shade itself is only anchored in one place, on top, to hold it in place. You would put a stress on the opposite end with nothing holding it in place with the weight of gravity.

Yes. Believe the cover is meant to be on for preventing sparks and what not from flying all over the place.

probably not. It gets its strength from being wrapped around itself. The epoxy bonds best when wrapped not applied in a single layer. Seek a wall crack repair!!!

Blue board. Don't know about the life difference between the twoIf you live in a lightning prone area, remember to keep all wire runs as short as possible. Lightning does NOT have to have a direct hit to distroy electronics. It can be a cloud to cloud strike that induces enough voltage to fry electronics, and the damage won't be visible to the eye.

Probably. There is a metal piece you screw on each light outlet after putting the globe on. 4 of 5 of them were well fitted however one did not tighten well but would probably hold or you could use electrical tape to make it tighter. Also if you use energy saving lights you have to get the compact ones. Even then the globe is barely tall enough to cover it. If mounting facing down you will see the light bulb.

A surge can be from lightning or from line voltage, this unit is designed to catch the surge before it enters your house wiring and damage sensitive equipment. So yes it will do the job you want.

This would not only save on electric costs but possible expensive repairs. Every time you pul, out a plug it tugs on the wires behind the wall. When one breaks away it is the devil and costly to find it if it is not at the immediate outlet and somewhere behind the walls. This would prevent that from happening.

I don't think you will need anything like that. We live in Florida which has a lot of lightning strikes and power surges. Haven't had any problems. This is a good product.

Well, you COULD run the power cord thru the wall, but you'd be running afowl of electrical code. If you had a fire, your insurance would be nil (not to mention other possible liabilities). You could run exterior, flat, conduit (I've seen plastic at the hardware store) and paint it to match your wall. This would not be very noticeable. -Stan Smart

In response to your question, you've probably found this out already, but for everyone else out there: this covers up both plugs. I found a review for the 3 pack version of this product where they said that it does cover up the other plug. So, you'll probably need one of those "plug expanders" for the wall plug so you can plug in more than one thing to the wall.

I would say some light is able to pass through the walls. They are an oxford material similar to a wind breaker. The top cover is heavier and coated with PVC so the top cover will probably keep most light out.

Yes. That's the main reason I purchased mine and believe me...it works great ! It can detect lightning when you aren't able to see it. A very good device for the price !

No. The intent of this device is to divert a surge of electricity to a legitimate ground (e.g., your water main or a lightening rod) rather than having it enter your house, should your antenna be hit by lightening. I have mine connected between sections of the coax cable that runs between the antenna and the house, and the the other connector has a length of #10 copper wire (per code) running from the device to a lightening rod. It definitely needs to be installed outside; you certainly would not want all that voltage making its way into your house!

As I understand it, this is adequate protection for surge, just like the extension strip surge protectors, just this fits in the wall behind your TV. That is what mine is being used for. http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/ProductDetail.jsp?partnumber=5280-W&section;=39994

Mine works fine without it. I wouldn't worry about lightning, either, as it will hit something higher first - the roof or chimney.
