Electrical surge, in simple words, is a sudden spike in electricity in your electrical circuits. Even though surges in general can last for as little as a fraction of a second, it can take massive toll on all electrical appliances and devices that may be connected to the circuit. LED lights, even the tough ones like high power LED stadium lights and LED flood lights are affected by electrical surges. Surges will cause wires and components to overheat, melt and lead to short circuits, all of which are destructive LED components.

A Lighting Designers Trip to Disneyland - Lighting Critique of the Magic Kingdom
Posted by Dara Greaney on 2/4/2019 to
LED Lights
As a lighting designer your brain is always thinking lights, lighting and now LEDs. So when we took the kids to Disneyland last week, I spent as much time looking at lights as I could while being raced from ride to ride. My short takeaway is how poor the lighting. Mainly from the complete lack of energy efficient lighting, but also from a design standpoint. I saw more incandescents and lights on during the day than I have ever seen. Disneyland needs me. (hint, hint call me)
In fairness to Disney, I researched it and Disneyworld is about to go energy neutral with a large solar install by 2019. Its west coast sibling Disneyland, not so much though. Even California Adventure got a few solar panels, but not many. None of the parks appear to be using LEDs to cut that usage. Our energy rates in California start at .23 a kilowatt hour, highest rates in the country. Disneyland is probably in Southern California Edison territory and unless they have a secret deal, their energy is expensive. Going LEDs in California has a very fast pay off, often 2-3 years with labor included.
