Thanks J.R. I live in SoCal so lightening isn't a concern. Aventon assumes we're not going to use ANY surge protector. I was responding to another member who suggested there might be a small surge when the socket was turned off.

Thanks 6zfshdb for the reply and the welcome. AventonTeam recommended the timer so they don't seem concerned about the switch type.
