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?

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.

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.ok, i want to run 4x 600watt bulbs from a double socket in one room at a standard uk 240v.

Anyway, I have all that in the same plug via an extension lead. I live in the U.K.
Indeed it is....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.
ita ok, i ran an extention from another power socket just incase.Indeed it is.
