⚡ Monoprice Power Surge Protector Wall Tap with 3 Outlets and 2 Built-in 2.1A USB Ports - White, UL Rated 540 Joules with Protected Light Indicator Review

My wife and I use it in a certain corner of our apartment to charge our phones (since it's the only place we have cell service ). The USB ports are a great advantage since we don't have to do without sockets for chargers. As promised, it attached directly to the existing outlet cover (with the screw provided) and offered an extra outlet to boot. The only thing that strikes me is that the light on the device is pretty bright. It works well as a night light to illuminate our stairs, but I don't…
