Most power strips are rated for 1500+ watts, it should say somewhere on the strip.

I am positive it will work, regardless of what your surge protector says, without a fire hazard. If anything was to go wrong, the surge protect is there to kill the power.... thus the reason they are called surge protectors...

That's a bit naive.. It's surge protector, it protects your electronics from surges (sudden increases) in power that may fry sensitive components, not dumbasses who plug in too many appliances. They can still overheat and catch fire without tripping the breaker if you are using them above their rated capacity.

No, not with low wattage cfl's, but that's a far cry from "..regardless of what your surge protector says.." Most power strips do nothing in the way of fire protection (some do, but they're much more expensive), don't spread misinformation, somebody might burn their house down listening to your bad advice.

Geez isn't there something better to do than nit pick a comment. I mean if it is all about helping people go answer some grow questions. I can say with 110% confidence that no one will burn their house down cause of my comments.... So go help some people, don't hang on every word i say please......
