Need some help with wiring and extension cords

Wonder if anyone can help me, I have 4 600w HID lights and 2 150w fans all plugged into this heavy duty 8 way contactor ( http://www.3ch.co.uk/grow-lights/contactors/heavy-duty-8-way-contactor/prod_935.html ). My problem is it doesn't reach the plug sockets on the wall, they're about 4 metres away. I cant seem to find a really heavy duty extension lead that I think is sufficient enough.

My question is, can I make one and if so, what would you suggest I need?

Also, I have 4 mini clip fans and want wire them all into one socket. Can I wire these in series?

Make your own extension cord, buy the wire and sockets....it will be cheaper anyway

A good heavy duty extension cord will do, and what do you mean wiring you fans in series?

Yea go to electrical supply of big box store ask for 10.ga 3-wire extention cord type and have them set you up with both ends. done plug it in

Ok so I'll build my own one then, as the contactor is 26 amp and one plug can only hold a 13 amp fuse should I build a dual wire/socket extension to plug both plugs into?

as for the wiring the fans in series I mean is it possible to wire them like this



I should point out I'm in the UK so have 240v mains

If you wire the fans in series, if one fails they will all fail. Also, the farther down the circuit you go the less voltage each fan will receive. Wiki article on series & parallel wiring. You'll want to use parallel wiring. That's the way houses are wired, both in the US & UK.

Thanks Lo Budget

Why not just go to Lowe's or Depot, and get an "Appliance" extension- like for a dryer...........
Get the shortest you can get away with, a 4,6, or 9 foot.

No, you should not wire in series, all multipul outlets are parallel, as lo budget says if one fails all will fail and voltage drops down the line.
