Can this be plugged into a power strip (or surge protector) instead of a wall outlet?

Yes it can be plugged into any 120v outlet that it physically fits... The timer keeps it's time and settings when unplugged.

I've had mine plugged into a power strip all summer, and it's been working really well.

Yes. It probably would take up a few slots however as it's wider than a single plug.

Thank you for the question!It is not recommended to plug an extension cord or another power strip into a surge protector. It will still work, however the surge protection function will no longer work and your equipment will be at risk of surges.Globe Customer Appreciation Team

No, unfortunately, it cannot be plugged in to an outlet. We had to have our electrician wire it for us.

It does not need a surge protector and just plugs into a 110 volt electric socket. But overseas outlets may be different and require an adapter. Need to research wherever you are going to be.

absolutely. plugs into a standard wall outlet. works really well. got this as a christmas present for my wife. definitely recommend.

Yes, you will still need to have a surge protector and you cannot incorporate one into the unit itself. Not with the way it is currently designed.

No. This unit is powered by a USB connection to a device (computer, etc.), not from a wall outlet.

Yes you can by plugging a 30 amp adapter pigtail into the 50 amp surge protector. Works fine. The manufacturer supplied me this information

I have found that it depends. I have successfully used mine with some power strips, but not others, likely due to the differences in how the surge protection, if any, on the strip is accomplished electrically. I have also had success with extension cords and output expanders.

Physically, yes you can BUT building codes prevent you from running usual appliance power cords through walls , I guess they are not rated for in-wall use. I've had to have an electrician install a (sunken) outlet behind the TV. IMHO it's worth the expense for peace of mind.

Yes, make sure your strip outlet does say not to plug into a GFCI. Some strip outlets are circuit breaker only protections while others protect equipment from power dips and surges. This type could cause interference possibly. Always read the instructions and WARNINGS.

Not unless your voltage is more than 110v.,or the wall receptacles are configured differently from the cord plug.

I don't see why not, as long as you have a good surge protector in front of the electronics.

Yes, I have two power strips and my UPS plugged in to mine. There is only on AC outlet on the unit so you would need a power strip or adapter.

As long as the power strip is not a surge protector it would be okay provided that the total load is under 10 amps.

This power strip has minor surge protection. I would not depend on this to protect anything important. I've used it plugged into another surge protector and then used the ends to plug the wall warts for things like my cell phone, tablet, and laptop which don't all like to plug into normal power strips so easily. This is good for devices that have fat wall wart transformers.

2 prong plug, so I see no reason why you could not. It takes a maximum light bulb of 75 watts and the cord is a little over 5 feet long. I usually use surge protectors (safer) instead of an adapter but that is your choice.
