I'm considering this surge protector from Jaycar https://www.jaycar.co.nz/10-way-home-theatre-surge-protected… since it's the highest joule value I can find.
Does anyone have any other thoughts around high quality surge protector options?

I used to work in electrical and so we learned to check what standards a tool is certified. This model is by Eaton, well known in the power protection and supply industry, but I have not used this particular unit before.
Oh thanks, that's some excellent background reading and option.
been using these ones, but not for like tv's
https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/SURJAC1060/Jackson-RAP6S-Ra…As in it's not good enough for TVs, or overkill for things like TVs?
Well for budget TV's I'd say it's good enough but if you're spending over $2k on a Tv I'd get something that can handle more like Belkin
We still got an old Belkin at my parent place, it's one of those fat ones like in OP's link it had $300k connected equipment cover should anything die if it wasn't able to protect
Some of the Belkin's still have such but obviously a much lower $ amount is covered these days. Best bet to contact Belkin NZ and see what they say

What are you trying to protect?
Pretty much any expensive tech I have currently plugged in to cheap, awful multiboards. It's an old house so not many sockets in each room.
Xiaomi cheap and excellent 👌👍 i got many from China
