get a power strip,connect all your lights to it, and connect the power strip to the timer. should work.

Yeah that is what I do, I have two surge protectors attached to one plug on the timer. Works great and never have any problems.

i know i can buy 3, but i was trying to cut down on having timers everywhere.

Yup just need a basic splitter, use the timer for time, then split off of the timer with an adapter, or a surge protector, (these usually have 3 prongs and don't work with 2 prong adapters, should be no more than $5 at wallyworld.

If your hooking up lights IE CFL's you can parrallel them and only have 1 plug for all of your lights....not sure what your using it for though.

Make sure what you have on the timer doesnt exceed the max. amp rating on the timer or it will burn up.

I bought a timer strip at a hydro shop in Berkeley. It has eight sockets with four of them on the timer. Each of the four on the timer can be set to different times. Cost about $25. I don't like having lots of timers in the room either.

Herbose could you post a link of the timer strip you are talking about? It sounds like a good investment

Very strange...there is no brand name on it, unless MADE IN CHINA is a brand.
Here's where I got it Berkeley's Secret Garden
