I have done this. It's important to know the specifications of the timer and power strip though. Don't overload either and you should be fine.Anyone ever had an issue doing this? I need more things on my timer.
Looks as though you are fine. 250w+wattageoffan= way less than 1875Right now, the fan is 250cfm (not sure what that translates to generally in terms of power) and the light is 250w HPS. The timer and surge protector are both 1875w/ 15A. I think I should be fine, but something about it is making me nervous. Just want to make sure noone has boo boo'd doing this
That sounds scary. Basically, it is 250wHPS w/ fan. The reason I ask is because I want to drop a CFL bar the lower shaded area of the plants with a tiny fan, which of course has to be on the same light cycle. I may leave the light directly on the timer. The set up is currently > wall plug > surge protector > timer then it would be > surge protector > CFLs (rougly 100w). & 250cfm fan. The 250w HPS would be on the other side of the timeranother issues to considure is start up current of your HID lamp. /ballest
