So if the box is on a timer and that only services one plug (separate circuit), how big a problem is it when the timer is off or when the circuit is off?

Not the point. How big a problem is it when the circuit is on and somebody that doesn't know what you've done pulls it apart and touches the energized male plug. In fact maybe ask your insurance company what your liability risk is if that happens, not to mention having to live with killing someone. Don't mean to trash you Doug, but this is just plain dangerous.

It’s not a problem until it is. As long as no one else unplugs it any grab the energized end. All I recommend is don’t lend that cheater cord to anyone.

I get your point Ken. No offence taken.
I was the only one taking it apart as it was in the eave trough. With my new Govee lighting system, I am not using it anymore so you can rest easily.

I’ve been hit with more juice than a 110 plug in will give you, it hurt don’t get me wrong but I doubt it will kill you, it’s gonna hurt and burn you for sure . Only way I see it killing someone is if they were way up on a ladder and fell because of the electrocution and broke their neck or smashed their head

All it takes to stop your heart is 5 milliamps. Look it up.

Well I know I’ve been lit up by a good blast of DC power, enough to blow the battery up with my hands on the booster cables clamped onto it. I also know that sticking a fork in a plug in didn’t kill me, did that when I was 5-6 years old. Hell my mom didn’t even find out about that one. The beating I would have got for wrecking a plug in at our rental 4 plex on no baby daddy lane would have been more painful than the zap for sure. I’m sure you can die but it’s definitely not a guarantee or even super common
