Does this cover things like failures due to spikes in the wiring caused by lightning?

Not that I know of. If you haven't already, you may want to check your home circuit breaker/fuse box and ground-fault circuit interrupter (if any) to see if anything has been tripped.

I have this unit on the outside panel, of course its partially protected by roof overhang. unless you've handle high voltage repairs/installs before I would have an electrician do this! after all, you're not surge protected...

we have lots of lightning bugs so I don't think so. Best check with the manufacturer.

No. Surges and Spikes only. You'll need a battery backup unit to condition your power if you want to guard against brown outs.

There may be an improper ground or a back feed in the hook up of the lights.

Not really!! Lightning is a beast and wreaks all kinds of havoch on circuits.

I had no problems with mine but I bet if you would tell them what happened they could side you a new set of lights and all. Did you also check if you may have blown a fuse or something also what worked for me was. Having it wired so you can plug in to your cigarette lighter in your car or truck

it is not a ground fault device. So basically the answer is no.It doesn't protect any better than a normal outlet with the same value circuit breaker would.If the circuit breaker on the circuit it is plugged into is a higher value it can provide some additional protection.It is also internally connected to the ground it is plugged into.If it is plugged into a poor ground then this can contribute to both shock problems as well as interference/noise problems.

I didn't have a problem with any of my wires. What did happen though is the drivers side actually melted itself and dropped onto the reflector, and bonded itself. I had to replace the entire fog light assembly. You get what you pay for with these. I would stay away.

sorry - no insight here. my habit is to not multi-task with electronics, particularly when an electrical source is involved. neither me nor my electronic lineup have been electrocuted as a result.

check your electrical connections. since they can be exposed to elements they can corrode

The literature does not mention of surge nor grounding protections but for lightening prone areas, I suggest grounding through the metal pole.

Check your connections,may have a lose wire or you have something wired wrong or a blown fuse.

Yes, it'll protect against most any surge other then a direct lightning hit.

I really don't know. I am using it more as a multi plug extention cord. There are two lights on it, one says "Grounded" & the other says "Protected". I don't see a place to replace a circuit if it is blown but.... I threw the box away so I dont have any more info for you. I love it personally.

Device is sacrificial. In the event of a surge it becomes the path of least resistance and accepts the over voltage. It will try to dump the surge to ground and most likely will permanently trip as a result. After an event you will still have power but the device should be checked. If the lights are not solid green than it did its just and must be replace before the next event.
