just making sure here.

i have been using CFLs and am now wondering this...

i have most of the bulbs plugged into house lamps and stuff. then i have splitters, so i have 2 bulbs off one house lamp, and then i have 3 bulbs off of another. then im using an reptile lamp that had one of those heat bulbs you buy in there. with the exception of one ballast (which was used in an incubator) all i have is house lamps with multi sockets.
do these lamps limit the power im getting at all? i would think with CFLs the power usage should be just fine eh?
i have 4 26w cfls, and then 4 40 watt cfls.

I'm running over 400w of CFLs on one outlet with no problems. You're fine. And if have doubt think of this - I run my computer 350w, my space heater 900w, my stereo 5x100w on one power cord. Might have my monitor on that as well. :)
