Need advice on lightning protection on outdoor APs,cameras, etc.

A few months back, we had a bad lightning storm at one of our locations, and a lightning strike fried a few switches and some other equipment.

I was looking at something like (https://ethernetextender.com/product/265lp-lightning-protection/)[this], but I'm curious if I would need two devices (it's sold as a kit of 2) on each end of the run as suggested, if I'm only really interested in protecting the LAN equipment upstream.

For double the cost, I want to know how much extra protection I'm getting by putting the second lightning protector next to the outdoor device, instead of only next to the switch.
