You are good for:

10 Amps @ 230 Volts = 2300 Watts

OR

10 Amps @ 115 Volts = 1130 Watts

these figures vary slightly,depending on whether they use 220,230,or 240 volts for their baseline.

if you aren't using HIDs you shouldn't have to worry about blowing a timer.

Try putting 70watts of fluoro/cfl through a cheap timer. Keep a bin handy.

For all you budding electricians (budding......electricians......haha....get it?...?...haha?.....).
Amps=watts/volts, so 2600w/110v=23+ amps. Before anything blows up your household circuit breaker will trip. Doesn't mean the timer's any good though.
