ION Lightning Guard Electrical Surge Protector
Protects your highly valuable electrical appliances from electrical surge damage
- Lightning Guard is a new Dutch invention that’s proven incredibly popular in Holland, as they, like UK residents, suffer many lightning strikes. In Britain there are around 300,000 lightning ground strikes every year – some strike homes and businesses, damaging structures and electrical appliances such as those fitted with a microcomputer, including TVs, audio and computer equipment, fridges, freezers, cookers and even central heating systems. Lightning Guard protects equipment from ‘electrical surge damage’. This covers not only the effects of lightning strikes but also other power ‘spikes’ that can occur when power comes back on after a power cut, during maintenance work, or simply when a major appliance is turned on. Simply plug Lightning Guard into any standard UK earthed mains plug socket and it will protect all devices plugged in on that circuit up to 10metres away (over 300m sq. – assuming the circuit is that large). Lightning Guard has less than 1 nanosecond response time – it intercepts the surge spike before it reaches and damages any connected appliances appliance and then guides the surge spike through the earth of the plug socket and away from your valuable devices. Many electrical devices including some extension leads claim to have ‘surge protection’ built in, but they have much slower response times than Lightning Guard and are therefore much less effective. When placed in a non-earthed socket, the Lightning Guard will absorb the surge spikes and transfer it to heat: it can absorb up to 10 big surge spikes when placed in a non-earthed outlet. It is recommended that at least two Lightning Guards are used: one for your TV/Audio/Computer equipment and another for the kitchen to protect your fridge, freezer, cooker etc. – items far too valuable to risk.

Stealth Speed Boat
It may be Stealth in name but it’s far from stealth in nature as this twin motor speed boat screams along at an astonishing 30kmh! This big sexy black beast is 73cm long and all power. Unlike the petrol driven pro-RC models that take hours of tinkering with for just a few moments of enjoyment the Stealth Speed Boat will dash round your local pond at ludicrous speeds for up to half an hour from a single charge – no doubt terrorising all and sundry and leaving all other RCs (and quite a few ducks) floundering pathetically in its wake. The twin motors make steering amazingly responsive (it’ll turn on a dime) and a clever safety feature ensures that the props won’t spin when they’re out of the water – so you won’t be picking your fingers out of the pond. We’ve already said how fast it is but have we really got that across? Because even though we knew it was fast we had no idea what ‘really fast’ actually looked like until we saw this thing go. Heck if it had wings it would have taken off and the local hot shot ducks were depressed enough already without giving them even more of an inferiority complex. Of course aside from shaming the local wildfowl there was the sweet enjoyment of watching the RC nuts with their £100 boats turning green with envy and sulking over their thermoses.

And, thanks to its ‘carpet glider’, you can now clean your rugs and carpets with minimum fuss too. Unlike cheaper imitations from other manufacturers that take an age to warm-up, the powerful 1500W Rapid steam mop is ready to produce steam in just 60 seconds which can be released when you want it, where you want it by using the trigger. The large 750ml water tank provides 25 minutes usage – enough to get most jobs done without a refill – and the integrated water softener treats tap water to prevent a build-up of limescale which can reduce the efficiency of a steam cleaner.
