I was firstly running it off the socket on the other side of the room, it's a double socket, so we had one extention lead plugged into one socket, and another extention plugged in the other socket. Had all my grow stuff on one extention, then had a playstation, TV and lamp plugged into the other extention, obviously we knew this could be overloading but had no choice at the time as the only other socket in the room was covered by the wardrobe which weighs a fricking tone, we couldn't move it. But when the electrics started tripping, we figured we'd have to find a way to move the wardrobe, and plug the grow stuff along with the extention lead Into the socket behind the wardrobe. This worked for a while, and this is how iv been running it ever since, also plugged the lights into a timer when I changed plug sockets as I thought that Might help soften the inrush current, I figured this because the light was mostly tripping when I turned it on, it would fire up and then instantly trip everything, when I plugged it into the timer, and into the socket on the opposite side of the room, it worked, as I said, I had the exhaust fan plugged into same extention as the light, but I had to add another extention to that socket to plug the oscalating fan into because it wouldnt fit in the first extention because of the bulky timer. Also this all worked fine until yesterday, it tripped when I tried to turn the oscalating fan on, and now trips every time I try to turn it on. Iv got the light on right now running with just the exhaust fan which I'm worried about. As for the kettle idea, I dont think this would apply to me, I'm in a single floor flat, so looking at my circuit board thing, it says that all my sockets are on the same circuit, apart from the cooker which is on it's own socket, so even if I plug the lights, fan ect or even the kettle, into another socket, is this not essentially still plugging it I to the same circuit? Theres one blank slot on my circuit board, I have an electrician coming on the 30th, do you think he would put my bedroom sockets on that blank slot, so that they would be on a separate circuit from the rest of the sockets, is this a job that the council electricians would do? Sorry of this is confusing, I'm in a right pickle myself also, do any of you actually use a contactor for your lights and fan or a surge protected extention or anything like that? Thanks
