In theory this may be OK. But in practice you will be likely to have problems you really need to split them onto a number of switches so they don't all go on together even if only one second between them. Most lighting supplies have 6 amps which is 1380 watt some times 5 amp thats 1150 watt so they would run but on start they use more current so not the way I would wire.
