How big are they, do they cover up surrounding outlet sockets?

Sadly because of simply poor design they lights do interfere with both plugs, you can manage to slide a second plug item in under the unit if you plug it into the top plug. Such a shame, just a tad smaller base to this item, which could have easily been done and actually saved production costs because less plastic would have been used, and this item would not have at all blocked or interfered with the second plug. Very poor Chinese made product, but what would one expect from a Chinese made product, all Chinese products are borderline junk products.

Yes they do, you won't be able to put anything else in the same socket with this nightlight.

I put mine in the bottom outlets with the light facing down (plastic part facing up). This frees up the top outlet, which is easier to access for things I need to plug and unplug.

In my house, they block both outlets on normal receptacles, but not on GFCI receptacles(the ones with the test/reset buttons). On GFCI receptacles, plug into the top outlet and there will be room to plug something into the bottom outlet.

3 in W X 2.75 in H. Use top outlet, bottom free, but if plugged into bottom, covers both.

Approx. 2 1/2" x 3". Ifplaced in the top socket of a double socket outlet, will not interfere with bottom socket.

I had to put it in the top outlet socket or it would have blocked the other one. It is bigger than I figured but the light is bright.

You can ignore the "Yes" answers because they don't cover both outlets on a standard wallplate unless you have no imagination. Plug the light into the top outlet and the bottom outlet is available, though you may have to bend down to see what you're doing when plugging something in. Even easier, turn the light upside down and plug into the bottom outlet. Problem solved.

they are measuring it hanging vertically. the ones i received are: 14 1/8 inches long (not 17.2); 2 1/8 inches wide; 1 1/2 inches thick/deep. it has a heavy cord so add an extra inch to the length if you intend to bend the cord. this is a VERY nice power strip with sturdy switches.

Without actually measuring it, I'd say that's pretty close; it could be smaller. I have it plugged in behind the couch in my living room and I can use the outlet above it. It's unobtrusive.

While I didn't see info. saying it wouldn't cover such appliances, these surge protectors are way too small for use with heavy draw appliances like ACs, refrigerators, space heaters, and big microwaves.

They are regular prong holes. Also comes with individual protectors for each plug if you need to cover them.

The socket is medium sized (fits regular light bulbs). The diameter cover plate is 8 1/4 inches wide.

In my RV I have outlets which hold two "18 inch bulbs. I pulled both bulbs out, snipped couple of wires and I'm only using one of these per outlet.

These are not waterproof so they would have to be protected from moisture and yet still get adequate ventilation. Other than that, yes, they fit standard sockets and if wired for 12 Volts will provide very nice lighting. I use mine in a boat and though the environment is harsh by home standards I have no problems with them.

You could hide it behind the unit, but it all depends on your placement of the unit. Mine covered my cable outlet, but my wall plug is off to the side. Depending on your number of electronics, it could get full pretty quickly behind the unit if you place it over your wall outlet - depends on your cable management.

They are flat across the top. No ridge around the edge that sticks up. Some versions do have a ridge around the top that sticks out, making it easier to remove from the wall outlet.

It' the size of a standard octagon electrical box. It covers it and two screws hold it in place.

It is the way you are thinking - in the bottom outlet it will cover the top outlet! It does have a socket outlet that works well. So you haven't lost anything.

The size of this surge protector is almost the same as the size of standard surge protectors. I don't know the exact dimensions. but it is roughly 8 by 2.5 by 1 inches.

Fits a standard US 110 volt outlet. Unit is not grounded but the blades are different size so it fits into the socket only one way.

They cover a solid 15 foot diameter. I use it in my basement in a corner over a sectional and it lights the whol area up.

Barely. The second outlet is almost completely covered up by this huge device.

Length is 1 1/16 inch. Diameter is 1/2 inch. They fit automotive and 12 volt garden lamp sockets. If plugged into 12 volts ac ,they work just fine. If plugged into 12 volts dc, you have to get the polarity right. I'm using them in all of my garden lighting, since they don't heat up much and save power. I hope this helps.
