I have 1 double socket outside my room and 1 double socket inside the room. ecotechnics 2kw contactor - this uses 2 sockets outside of the room and I fed the cable with 2 gang on into the room To power my single 300w LED panel. This has a timer and socket plug to go into my main house socket with a timer in one and the main plug in the other. http://www.ecotechnics.co.uk/contactors_range.htm these are utilised to reduce draw on the timer when powering your lights. then internally I have 2x 4way extension to power my lower wattage equipment with 1 plugged into another. I utilise 1 to 3 way power adaptor straight into one of the mains sockets to power my 2x80w tube heaters on a thermostat. my fan is connected to an SMS fan controller I utilise in my room 1x300w light 2x tube heaters 2x oscillating fans 2x water pumps for feeding/circulating 1x extraction fan with controller I manage all this from 2x double gang sockets, 2x extension leads and a lighting contactor. Many thanks!!!, very clear. No idea was existing a contactor and I will definitely take it for the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fan is a socket The 2 fan connected together with a multi socket (32W) I will put an extension 2 gangs Heat mat with Inkbird one socket X2 Tube heater connected together with a multi socket (180W) other extension lead. 7 sockets in total. With two main plug one for the light and 5 in extension socket ( what I am doing now). Is this ok for a personal grower? But by the sounds of things the way your currently working it seems fine to me. Getting a spark in to fit more sockets would be a waste of time and money IMO. Just my 2p's tho. Is there no way of you running an extension from another room?.. Its what I do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be ideal to run an extension from another room, but Unfortunately is not possible...I should run a cable from inside the house outside to the space...
