Just wondering if anyone else has the heat source and vbv plugged into an extention cord? They are on a timer plug too. Is it safe?
I do have one that's 13 amps, it's surge protected and about 5ft long. Maybe that's better choice? The lamp and ubv are both 3 ampsHow many amps are the heat source and UVB using? How long is the cord?
Okay I'll do a bit of research over the weekend. Thank you for your help.How many watts are each of the items plugged in, and how long is the cord?
Personally I won't use anything smaller than 14 gauge for light duty, and I use 12 gauge wire for anything with big pull, like my 700 watt radiant oil heaters.

I think it's a 16 gauge
