you need to find out its allowed amperage and then add up your electricals to make sure they won't overload its current capacity.

Go to Walmart or Home Depot.
I got one with the pins to set times because I am warry of the digital one in case of a power surge. I don't know if they will continue when power comes back on or does it just blinking light the alarm clock. At least the one with pins will continue to run and I just have to reset the time.

Hmm it's rated for 15amps, but says only 1800W, so 2 1k HPS probably wouldn't work. Oh well...

Im sure it would work fine, but like dadio said...power surges etc...I would stick with the "pinned" kind...but thats just my opinion. I use one and its never failed me even with electrical glitches or whatever.
