The lights are a must if you have any sort of audio rack. It helps a ton so I can lower the light in the studio but still see what I am doing. Adds a nice professional edge to your audio rack too.I have one of these but now I am out of power banks for my additional synths and turntable so I got my second one to power up my new compressor plus my mic preamp. All to set in a new audio rack. This furman hasn't let me down in 5 years so they have my loyalty as long as they make affordable and effective stuff.

So I bought this advance protection unit to protect and avoid noise in my home studio.I placed it in my rack along with some high end preamps.But brand new with nothing plugged on it, it produced a buzz sound. Not in the speakers but by itself.I'm guessing that some capacitors or transformers were vibratingSo I returned it without problems the seller did a good job but didn't have another one in stock..I finally decided to go with an online UPS (double conversion) from Vertiv the GTX5 but it has a loud fan.. So I installed it in a locker room aside of the studio..

Works and looks great as a show piece with my audio equipment. No speaker popping when turning on audio equipment...noticed no hiss. The front switch is easy access which is much better than reaching behind equipment to turn on older surge protector. Looking forward to damage prevention to equipment during power loss and surges. I like the larger depth and solid build to the unit.

As a current owner of 2 x Furman PL-PLUS C 15 Amp bought in 2015 for $157 each, I know the product and trust it. I wanted one more unit to manage my stereo & PC sound system in the den. Amazed & disappointed to find the identical units now cost $239. I know this is America & profit drives our world, I believe Furman is under new ownership with presumably more mouths & bad business decisions to cover up nevertheless I could not spend $239 for a set up that is only used occasionally.I ordered this cheaper unit with less flashing lights that I believe is otherwise identical to the PL-PLUS. Same number of outlets, same cool mini spot lights in the front & same size case. Plug it in, leave it on, one green light tells me everything is okay.There does not appear to be another product available that compares with these Furmans. Pleased they have a cheaper version, can't blame them for making as much money as the public will allow, power conditioners are not cancer drugs....

When I think of all the cheaper power bars I've purchased over the years, it makes me wish I knew about this product long ago. The cheaper ones, including Monster and other "quality brands", do not provide this level of protection and filtering. Also, the cheaper ones all eventually die, meaning they stop protecting my stuff. One bad storm can kill their surge protection and then you'll have to replace it. The Furman protection will basically last "forever" because of the way it's designed to protect itself with multi-stage protection that the others don't have.If you spend decent money on your computer, TV, stereo, etc. then I urge you to spend a couple hundred dollars and protect that gear. It will last AND your audio and video quality will improve too due to the filtering/conditioning. I can't explain it, but you can notice an improvement between plugging into the wall socket or plugging into this Furman.Highly recommended for valuable home electronics and also for gigging musicians to use for their amplifiers, p.a.'s, etc. I now own a number of these.

Purchased two of the Furman PL-8C units for work, not in the music industry but for clean power in the data collection side of things. So far they have performed very well. Like the rotating lights on both sides of the units with brightness control. Transformer block spacing on the back so not all the plugs are jammed together. There are also two separate banks for power. A red light will glow if you have received a big spike.

This is an exceptional product that worked miracles on my vintage audio gear.I have an older home, and definitely felt like there were some electrical noise/grounding issues. I could hear it in the hum on my preamp's phono stage (I felt maybe it was because I had a newer "ungrounded" turntable, but the same hum was present in a grounded vintage one too). The same phono stage really had an overly-loud pop when switched as well. If playing a record, and something on the same circuit was switched on, I could hear it in the speakers for a millisecond, etc.So I bought this model, largely because it had additional filtering that the cheaper models didn't have, mainly the LIFT tech (whatever that is). As soon as I plugged it in and turned on my preamp (Denon PRA1000), everything was different - it stopped every piece of electrical noise cold, and even cured the overly-loud pop when switching the phono stage (turned it into a much more "normal" sounding pop that's inherent to audio equipment). I am super impressed. Highly recommended if you are into audio.
