Need MOV for LED house lighting

  1. What MOV would you recommend to surge protect 38 watt LED fluorescent replacement tubes with? I would like to use plain solder in type radial or axial lead types but will consider your advice for alternatives.
  2. What MOV or surge protection device to use for whole house surge protection that can be mounted in my main circuit breaker panel?

Greetings,

A person would need to study the devices in question and the installation more closely to answer such a question. There is a post discussing MOV selection in general here however which may be informative.

I’d respectfully refer you to a licensed electrician for that sort of question, due to the greatly increased risks and liabilities associated with placement at a service entry.

Hi zufeltel ,

Click here for a slightly narrowed selection of our surge protection devices. These may put you in the ballpark of the ‘mounting styles’ you are looking for, but the specifications will have to be verified for your exact application/usage. Please note the 1,2,3,4, & 5 types each typically classified for a certain protection stage.
