    I am testing out the plug in light sockets that can plug directly into a surge protector for heat and how safe it is. A lot of people use these for grow set ups. I am just making sure they are safe enough for my tastes.

    Most of you will find this tiresome but there are ur few people who have already expressed worry about using this item.

    If you have used this item please chime in!

    Attached I a picture of the light socket and power strip...

    Here they are plugged in. I put two 32w CFLs (55k) and a 23w (27k).

    I will run them for awhile to see how hot they get.

    Everything is good. It gets warm but not at the base.

    I have put power strips to the test big time. You are safe.

    Yeah I figured that out but I was sort of wary about how plastic cheap my sockets were Lol but yeah they did not get hot at all
