I want to know why they have to blink. Why can't they just stay lit? Drives me crazy . . . as if all these blinking lights mean anything to me. All I need is one light to tell me when the power is on and that's it. Anyone heard the prank call with the 'aisian' guy who calls about his VCR which keeps "brinking 12:00 . . . RCA stand for reary crappy appriance!" LOL!

I must be lucky, I have lights on the monitor, computer, battery backup, 2 printers, 2 clocks, 2 tv's, 2 vcr's, 3 power supply/chargers and 2 surge protectors and not one of them blinks.
Of course, if the power goes out, then it's different and many of them need to be reset, I think that's why they blink.
