Fire Hazzard ???

Hey guys, In my attic I used an adapter to convert a light bulb socket into a 2 prong outlet. I connected a light fixture with a total of 6 CFLs and 2 fans to and extencion cord which i pluged into a timer that got pluged into the 2 prong outlet (light bulb socket & fans--extention cord--timer--adapter--light bulb socket), I ran it for about an hour and it doesnt seen too unsafe but I would like some other opinions, If leave will I come home to my house or to a pile of ashes?

thanks

i say you put a surge protector in some where just in case

Yea i though of this and i went out and bought 1 but then i noticed that the timer is only a 2 prong outlet and the surge protector needs 3, and the light socket adapter is also only a 2 prong outlet, ive looked into adding a ground wire but i really dont think its possible, any suggestions?

i have this same setup in my attick and no problems at all just be very careful

So you dont have a surge protector? I really hope i can get this going

I would up my homeowners insurance policy that way if it does cook you get paid ......................................................

you may be ok but i would take a few lights off till i cud get a surge protector is bud worth blowing your electrics if it is then carry on (just my opinion)


however if the plants were beauties i would just carry on lol but i love ganja

Yeah the 2 prong is ok for CFL's but when you start getting deeper into the hoppy your probably gonna want an HPS and with that comes an exhaust fan. Both of them require a grounded socket.

Im just gonna start out little by little you know, leaving everything on for longer and longer while im home before i leave the timer on auto
Oh and thx for the replies
