Fire Hazard? Using a PowerStrip

Sup
I was sitting here smoking and got to thinking;
Ive got my timer hooked into a power strip, and on the power strip i have my 400w HPS and 2 CFL light sockets, I read somewhere that most power strips have a max wattage of 250w, would this be to much power for the power strip since im using the 400w on it with other 26w CFLs?

thanks get back to me,. Id hate to come home and have my house burnt down and the cops asking my bout my setup

look on the stip and see waht the map ratting is if its 10 then u can have 900 watts safely but i would only use 600 a strip whatever the amp is multipy by 110 and times by 80 percent and that is the maxium

Very unture, most power strips and extension cords minimally handle 13 amps(even the cheap ass ones). Which is 13 amps*120 volts(or insert your voltage here)=1560 watts(theoretical, multiply by 0.75(75%) to get a better 'real world' maximum). My power strips(I buy quality) are rated for 20 amps. Which is over 2000 watts.

ok well sorry was mis informed but not taht far off

My PC uses more than 250 watts, bro! And I got a 200 watt RMS Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 plugged into the same power strip(it can rock my house), and another PC! That's probably 700 or so watts at peak draw. Works flawlessly.
