SHOULD I, OR SHOULDN'T I?

Hi goo gang, I just put my fantasias up on a tall cabinet and plugged them into a power strip. I can reach the power button on the strip, but can't reach the roller switches on the lamp cords, and would have to get a ladder to turn them on.

Is is alright to keep the cord roller switches always on and the power strip off until I got ready to turn on the lamps, then use the main power switch on the strip to turn them on and off? I only have 3 lamps on the strip, but was afraid I might blow out the bulbs turning them all on at once with the power strip main button. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Those look great, Brad, and would be "very" helpful to me! Thanks! Here's a link for a "Five Pack," and it's on Prime, but costs more, of course, but no shipping if you are a Prime Member, which I am.
