Is this only for certain appliances (e.g. pet tanks), or is it like any power strip, capable of lights, heaters, etc? Are there amp/volt restrictions?

I have a powerful extractor fan and kilowatt lights that have had 0 issues with daily use for over a year. Heaters should be fine.

Its 125v. Not sure the amp rating but its probably no higher than 20 or 30...

Every power strip has amp restrictions, even higher-rated ones. This one is fine for most things you can throw on a standard 15 or 20 amp circuit. I wouldn't use it on any higher amperage circuits, it's probably not rated for that.

It is like any power strip. You can use it for Christmas lights, heaters etc. There are no restrictions as far as I know.

Keep in mind, simple things like phone chargers, lamps, toaster ovens, stove etc. DO NOT draw power when plugged in and off. So only buy this for things like smart tvs with idle features or an xbox console (which seem to turn on by themselves sometimes).

No surge protection, not really a power strip either, I DJ and use it to plug 4 lights into one plugged switch, so when I turn the switch It controls 4 lights at once. Hope this helps

Anything that you plug into this switch will be turned on and off at the same time. You can plug in anything you want to. However, like any piece of electrical equipment, there are ratings to consider. These switches are not to be loaded with more than 10 amps (the equivalent of 1200 watts at 120V), unless you want to risk the potential for an electrical fire. Whatever you plug into this switch, don't exceed these ratings.

It limits. I have a device that pulls to much and it just stays warm, while only drawing max of 6 watts from the wall. I calculated this at 1.17 amp, which is as advertised. Used it a couple days at max (waiting for the 3 amp unit to arrive) and it didn't crap out.

This heater control only has one plug for the heating element. Pretty much any brand heating element can be used. The MAXIMUM heating element that can safely be used in this specific unit that I know of is 800 watts MAX. Think of it just like lights in your house- you can put a 25 watt bulb in a 50 watt light socket and everything is fine. The minute you put a 100 watt light in a 50 watt socket you risk overworking the unit and burning things, catching fires, etc. 800 watts is 800 watts, regardless of brand. The plug on this is a standard US 110 volt plug, so be sure the heating element you choose to use has a standard US 110 volt plug also. Hope that helps!

Yes, you can use this for anything that requires a 12 volt input, just keep in mind you want to keep the load at or less than 75% of maximum. Although mine has been operating just fine powering my led controller and 150 watts of strip lights

It has an AC adapter you plug into the wall. You need to use a power strip to cover this plus your filter, heater, tank cover lamp and air pump.

I have a two story house but this is not what determines whether or not this will power it.It is based upon amp- watt etc. In my house I have a 200 amp service- once connected to my house (use a qualified electrician---always) I was able to run the boiler, AC, Stove and fridge with misc lights on in the house. The point is to manage while you have no power and toggle if needed certain rooms. This works perfectly--even though it runs high, continuously- does the job!

Sorry, no. The converter is only for max 100W peak and also nit intended for equipment producing heat, like driers, toasters, ...

I will only handle about an 8 amp load at 110V. Mine are working just fine since I make certain the circuit is not overloaded. Like you would not want to use this to control a 1500 watt electric heater. The remote module will fail and you'll be down on unit. Best to use these units to control lights, electronic equipment and such. High current gadgets should be limited to around 800 watts.

Yes, make sure your strip outlet does say not to plug into a GFCI. Some strip outlets are circuit breaker only protections while others protect equipment from power dips and surges. This type could cause interference possibly. Always read the instructions and WARNINGS.

While I'm currently using this to control some outdoor LED lighting which uses 110 volts, I've used a similar appliance module to control power to the transformer of a low voltage system and had no problems. Just make sure the loads are within the ratings of the control module.

As long as the power strip is not a surge protector it would be okay provided that the total load is under 10 amps.

Yes, The TG32P12 produces up to 4,000 watts of power to run most of your electrically powered household items. You can use the 120-volt, 20-amp GFCI-protected outlets to simultaneously power lamps, TVs, computers, fans, or other low-wattage appliances. Or you can power 240-volt appliances, such as your water heater, using the convenient 240-volt twist-lock outlet. That is the 4 prong plug. Hope this helps.

I've only used them with Amplifiers and other A/V devices. My opinion is that you shouldn't need a power-conditioner for an appliance. The power conditioner is to make sure the power is clean so it doesn't distort a TV picture or put noise on an audio signal, so it would probably be overkill for something like a fridge. That being said, you shouldn't have any problems plugging a large appliance into this as long as it doesn't pull more than 10 Amps (which it likely doesn't) if that's what you want to do.

I would recommend against doing so. Any type of power strip - with or without a surge protector - is usually used for smaller electronic loads. Larger high-powered loads such as heaters draw a lot more current on a continuous basis. They can overheat or overload many power strips or surge protectors unless the surge protector, strip and cord are all rated for heavy duty use. This unit also would not benefit from surge protection the way that sensitive electronics would.
