ok, i want to run 4x 600watt bulbs from a double socket in one room at a standard uk 240v.
is it possible without melting wires?
is it possible without melting wires?
can i run 4x 600watters on this power socket?

Depends on how big the wire is. Actually depends on how big the breaker is. Your looking at 10 amps & you should not load a circuit above 80%. Never seen a 12A breaker but you guys do stuff diff on that side of the pond, just guessing I would say you would need a 15A breaker. Peace

...do the amp math....all about the amps.

Don't know about 4 x 600w. I have 3 x 600w, a large extractor fan and a parabolic fan. Not parabolic, what's the word I'm looking for? One of those fans that swivels around.
Anyway, I have all that in the same plug via an extension lead. I live in the U.K.

...oscillating fan I believe is the word your looking for.
"parabolic" = is a reflective device used to collect or project energy such as light, sound, or radio waves. Its shape is that of a circular paraboloid, that is, the surface generated by a parabola revolving around its axis. The parabolic reflector transforms an incoming plane wave traveling along the axis into a spherical wave converging toward the focus. Conversely, a spherical wave generated by a point source placed in the focus is transformed into a plane wave propagating as a collimated beam along the axis.
Parabolic reflectors are used to collect energy from a distant source (for example sound waves or incoming star light) and bring it to a common focal point[1], thus correcting spherical aberration found in simpler spherical reflectors. Since the principles of reflection are reversible, parabolic reflectors can also be used to project energy of a source at its focus outward in a parallel beam[2], used in devices such as spotlights and car headlights.

Theres an electrician thats on here that welcomes any questions and knows what hes talking about. Im no electrician but that seems a bit heavy, dont burn down your house bro, good luck dude
im not a professional but i think the most wattage you can run on a 15amp circuit on 110V safely is 2000 but with 220 or 240 you can run more which would probably cover the 4 X 600. i would also recomend that you use two dual ballasts as opposed two four single, just my opinion. good luck i hope this helps.

ita ok, i ran an extention from another power socket just incase.
