I'm wondering if I can use a timer on CFL's. I just purchased a 95 watt light and want to know if I'm going to be able to run a timer with it. I'm also wondering if I can run multiple CFL's off the same timer? Thanks for the help. :rastasmoke:

Yes to both questions...Floros do not draw a lot of amps, I currently have 400+ watts of floros on one timer.

Most timers are 15 amp which is 1500 watts and yes no differant in compact fluos:rastasmoke:

I would not exceed 1200 watts or 12 amps on any 15 amp circuit...
