Power Strip Plugged into Dimmer Module

I’ve got one of the Inovelli dimmer modules (with the 3-prong grounded plug/outlet). Anybody know if it is OK to plug a power strip into this so long as everything I’m plugging into that strip are small, low wattage, incandescent bulbs? Or would that be damaging to any of the parts involved (bulbs, strip, module)?

Personal, fully disclaimed opinion and experience:

It’s fine if:

  • Don’t exceed the total Amps / Watt rating of the module.

Heck… That’s it. The whole point of a dimmer module is to plug lights / lamps into it! Using a power strip only introduces the risk that you might plug a motor or other appliance in by accident (e.g., a blow-up Santa?). Don’t do that!
