As a Massachusetts electrician, we are required to install 2 ground rods for all new electrical services. Lighting comes into the house through the power lines ( underground or overhead) so we also install surge supressors at the main electrical panel. In Florida they install ground faults at the electric meters so yes its worth it to protect your expensive electronics
