Why do I need a UPS in Lebanon?

Lebanon's power supply is characterised by scheduled and unscheduled cuts, voltage fluctuations, and sudden outages. A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) provides instant battery backup during power cuts and protects electronics from voltage spikes — essential for computers, NAS drives, routers, and sensitive electronics in Lebanese homes and offices.

What is the difference between a UPS and a surge protector?

A surge protector shields devices from voltage spikes but provides no backup power during a cut. A UPS includes a battery that provides minutes to hours of backup power during an outage, as well as surge protection. For Lebanon specifically, a UPS is the more comprehensive solution.

How long does a UPS keep devices running during a power cut?

Runtime depends on the UPS capacity (VA/watts) and the load connected. A 600VA UPS typically provides 5–15 minutes for a PC — enough to save work and shut down safely. Larger models can run a router or NAS for several hours. Abed Tahan's team can help calculate the right capacity for your setup.
