i got those 3 products.

my question is, is it safe to use them all on one socket.

my plan was to have the surge protector in the wall. the timer onto the surge protector and then the extension on the timer.

the extension says it holds 13 amps, 240 volts and has 2 sockets.

also the timer says 13 amps.

but what bout the wiring/ breaker its connected too might not be rated for that .. like a 15 amp breaker should be run max at 80% and thats like 12 amps

it wasnt a question of overloading. i knew the amps didnt go over 13 but i was just wondering if it was safe and the correct order i should plug them in.

lights > timer > extension lead > extension cable > surge protector > socket
