Well shit I did not know that, thank you. I don’t use it as one anyways I just enjoy the extra outlets.

Still, don't use it if the surge protection light goes out. If any additional surges come in after that, it could potentially violently blow up the MOVs (surge protection component). A good surge protector like a Tripp-Lite Isobar will cut power to the devices once the MOVs are used up.

You could open it and cut the MOVs out, and it would become a basic outlet splitter with no surge protection.
