Thanks. Hope you know I was making fun of myself, and my tendency to take shortcuts, and not poking fun at you. As technical as I am, electrical stuff makes me crazy and I avoid working on it unless there isn't a choice., and I really respect you sparky folks who know what you are doing.
So if a lamp has no ground wire (2-prong plug only), and a timer has no grounded receptacl (again, 2-prong only), if one uses my approach to use that adaptor and connect a timer to control that non-grounded lamp, is this a hazard? Assuming you say yes, how please? what can happen and how, hypothetically. I'm making the assumption that there is now water source in the coop, an no other reason for a short circuit. What, in such a case, can cause a problem?
