Will these items work with a grounded extension cord? Or a grounded power strip?

Yes, as long as you plug the ground pole into the ground of the extension cord or power strip.

Yes. It will work w/ any plug that has the extra hole. It is a single plug that fits into that one.

A 3pronged plug can be used with them but the item IS NOT GROUNDED.Plus you have to watch what you plug in ,most us hair driers draw to many amps.We used them in Germany and they worked great .

not a problem. take the ends of your power cord and attach them to a power point plug. KEEP TRACK OF + & -!

Electrical. The 3 pronged cord attached is about a foot 1/2 so you will need an extension cord.

Hello Jason, I know I cut off both connections and hard wired them together. i have a different use than you. Mine is for a snowmanfrom home depot. Radio Shack has power adapters. their adapter did not work for me. These work fine for me. good luck.

The Power-line adapters have to be plugged into the wall jack/ outlet directly. However some might work for a period of time if plugged into power strip, then you would have to find a way to plug them into the wall. also keep in mind, if you have a house that was extended and it has two patch panels for electricity. you will not be able to get the adapters to work. all the best, I love these little guys, they work wonders!

This is a double grounded tool. No ground pin is required for your extension cord. A 16ga. 50 or 100 ft. cord, should do the trick.

You will need a grounded extension cord. If you use this outdoors, I recommend an outdoor cord.

these puppies are very handy, 1 footers, one end is 3 prong male, the other 3 prong female, very short extension cord, these 1 footers are great for a strip extension cord, whereby you can use all the sockets, a lot of times the transformer(s) cover up 2 sockets, by using these 1 footers one can use all the sockets. see this please SmartSockets Basic Surge Protection Power Strip, 6-Outlet, 6' Cord, 670 Joules with the 1 footers, all sockets are utilized.

I don't believe it will work because the surge protector has a 3-prong plug and I do think you need the third prong to ground the strip. However, I am no electrician and you may want to get a second opinion. Sorry I wasn't very helpful.

Yes. That is how I use the item. The extension cord does accommodate the ground (3 prongs). I have had no problem. Really like the protector with it accommodating appliances requiring extra room for them to be plugged in. Works great and glad I have it.

This strip is powered by a 12 volts DC converter, so as long as your power supply has an output of 12vdc then I would not hesitate hooking them up. This is a very versatile set of lights. Have fun with them.

Yes any wall outlet no extension cords, also better to use on low or Econ because high pulls a lot of electricty

They will not work without a good ground connection there are tow buttons to push to activate them, the main power button and either of the mode button. if all else fails return to get better quality ones

You can plug anything in, they're just suggestions. The one thing to check is the switched vs. unswitched banks of outlets. The unswitched stay on if the power switch on the power strip is turned off, whereas the others stay on. Useful to think about how you might use the power strip's switch (e.g. leave DVR on as who cares if it is fried, but switch off all the amplifiers).

It depends upon how long the extension cord is--my heater will trip my 15 amp power strip. As the other person suggests, for a long cord you need heavy duty.
