lee valley looks like they have some nice new power strips in their new catalog. each outlet has their own on/off switch and you can close the outlet off with sliding covers top keep salt out of unused outlets plus it has a 15 amp circuit breaker for $8.95! no "cheapy" parts in this baby. :razz:

I'm way ahead of you guys. I just got home with two of them :mrgreen: :mrgreen: One for each tank.

They are made in a foreign country that starts with Ch and ends with ina. It has a UL listing, so it should be ok.
The only short coming I notice is the length of the cord. Its only a three footer. I may take one of them apart to see if I can wire in a longer one.

What ISN'T made in China these days?! :) 20 years ago, I would worry about it, but nowadays it'll be fine.

How many X10 modules can you fit into this unit. Is there enough spacing between the outlets to allow 6 modules or only 3? If only 3, is there a bigger version? They look really good. I may try to pickup a couple anyways. Thanks for any help.

LV does mail order for those who can't get to a store. That is actually their main sales avenue, selling in both Canada and the US. They have a very good reputation within the woodworking community, and they are absolutley one of the best places to deal with for customer satisfaction.
