I have 1 timer running out of my outlet, and I just wanted to make sure I'm not overloading it. I have ten 23w 390mA cfls, and two 26w 390mA cfls running through a surge strip rated at 120v 15A, that is plugged into a timer that has two ratings on the back. The timer says 120v then it says 10A 1500w and right under that it says 15A 1850w. I'm assuming I am good to go since the total of all my bulbs are under 5 Amps. Can someone confirm this for me please, and shed some light to what the two ratings mean on the timer.
