I knew what he meant, but this one is pretty heavy-duty. It's not like I'm going to just hook it up and leave it. Have to check the maximum throughput first.
: I believe MrArcade was meaning that your computer will draw much more current than a string or two of christmas lights. If you overload a device like that you could have a fire or the device just may up and die. I had this happen with a timer for my christmas lights last year. The timer just up and died one night. I didn't think I had it that overloaded (but it was).
