Spike Guard

Spike Guard — Small Device, Big Protection

Most people think a surge protector is just a fancy extension board. It isn’t. The difference becomes clear the moment there’s a voltage spike — from a lightning strike nearby, a heavy machine switching on, or an unstable supply in your building. A regular extension board does nothing. A spike guard absorbs and diverts that excess voltage before it reaches your devices.

Your laptop, smart TV, desktop, router, and gaming console are all vulnerable. Replacing any one of them costs far more than a quality spike guard ever will.

We stock the Goldmedal Curve Plus range — India’s most practical spike guard series. The 360° models rotate freely to fit plugs in any direction without blocking adjacent sockets. The i-Design strip models are compact and ideal for desks and workstations. Multiple models with built-in USB charging ports so you’re not burning an extra socket just to charge your phone. The i-Strip LED model gives you a clear power-on indicator.

All Goldmedal Curve Plus products are made in India, priced up to 35% below MRP, and available starting from ₹460.

One per desk. One behind the TV. One at the workstation. It’s genuinely one of those things you’ll never regret buying.

💬 FAQ Section

Q1. What is a spike guard and how does it protect your devices? A spike guard, also called a surge protector, contains a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) that absorbs excess voltage from power surges and redirects it safely to the earth wire before it can reach your connected devices. Without one, a voltage spike — from lightning, load switching, or power fluctuations — can permanently damage TVs, computers, routers, and other electronics.

Q2. What is the difference between a spike guard and a regular extension board? A regular extension board simply multiplies your wall socket — it offers no protection against voltage spikes. A spike guard has built-in surge protection components that absorb and neutralise excess voltage. For any device that matters — laptop, TV, router, gaming console — always use a spike guard, never a basic extension board.

Q3. What is a Goldmedal 360° spike guard? The Goldmedal 360° spike guard has a rotating socket head that swivels to accommodate plugs of different sizes and shapes without blocking adjacent sockets. This is particularly useful for 3-pin plugs with large adapters or appliance plugs that typically block the socket next to them on standard boards.

Q4. Which Goldmedal spike guard is best for a home office or computer desk? For a home office or computer desk, the Goldmedal i-Design 4×4 Power Strip with USB is ideal — it provides 4 individual switches, 4 universal sockets, and built-in USB ports for charging, all in a compact design. The 360° Spike Guard with USB is better for living rooms or entertainment setups where space is limited and plug shapes vary.

Q5. Are Goldmedal spike guards safe for TVs and laptops? Yes. All Goldmedal Curve Plus spike guards and power strips are designed for home electronics including LED TVs, laptops, desktop computers, routers, and gaming consoles. They are made in India and include surge protection components that protect against voltage spikes common in Indian power supply conditions.

Q6. What does the LED indicator on the Goldmedal i-Strip LED spike guard do? The LED indicator on the Goldmedal i-Strip shows when the device is powered on and the surge protection is active. When the LED is lit, protection is working. In some models, if the surge protection component is exhausted after absorbing a large surge, the LED will no longer glow — indicating it’s time to replace the unit.
