How many watts can a standard light socket support?

In the area where I plan on having my 400 watt hps grow has no plugin outlet available. There is only a light socket, I have one of these lightsocket adapters that converts a lightsocket into an outlet. Do you think I would be able to run my 400 Watt hps, and an oscilating fan safely? Without the risk of fire?


I was going to comment on those light adapters. They are not grounded at least none of the ones I have seen so you wouldn't be able to plug an hps cord into one safely anyways.

Have you thought about removing the socket and wiring in an outlet in that space? Just use the switch to turn outlet on and off.
