>Do surge power strips "wear out"?.  When they've taken a few surge 'hits' to they lose their effectiveness for attenuating power spikes?

Dan, I know some if not all do, and that some state that in their directions for use, and at in least one I've seen, the ready light becomes inoperative after it's been blitzed as a warning to replace. 

Does anyone know if any offer replaceable strips, or resetable breakers, or trade-in offers?
