    Default Electricity safety questions.. Complete novice

    Long story short I've got 2x DigiLight Pro - Digital 600w 400v Grow Light Kits and I've also brought a Canatronics Contactors with Grasslin Timer good for 4000 Watts total load (Canatronics 8 way up to 4800 watts)

    Now my question is am I safe just plugging that into the mains then the 2x hps? Was planning on running intake and extraction from another double socket I have spare in the bedroom.. Just don't want to overload anything as I live in an apartment if that makes any difference, and safety is my number one concern

    Thanks for any input lads

    I've ran 3 x 600w hps on one socket. They were magnetic ballasts so the draw will have been ~2Kw. You'll have no problem with 1.2Kw.

    Fans don't draw that much. A 6" rvk is ~110w.

    It's always a good idea to have a couple of AFO's, or Auto Fire Extinguisher Balls or other auto extinguishers in your grow tent or by your electrics, for peace of mind if anything else.
