New Grow Room Help Required.

Hello Everyone i havent been on for a while but i am in need of a little help...

Firstly i have build a stud wall room out of 3x2 with plasterboard going to insulate it with loft insulation covered with bubble wrap then tin foil with a final covering of 2mm plywood then mylar. (to stop heat signature)

My Room size is 4.2m x 3.6m x 2.5m

Floor space is 4.2m x 3.6m

I intend to use 10 x 600w HPS
I have an acoustic 12" 4250m3/hr box fan that i am going to put with a phresh filter
i will be getting a 10" Rvk for fresh air
i will be growing in NFT.

My major problem i have at the moment is the electrical problem...

My fuse box is approx 12metres away from a wall i have built, i cannot employ an electrician and say i need 12 x double sockets putting in this room and to run of 3 new circuits of 13amps each

How does a contactor work with say 14 sockets? would this be a solution?

I have literallly hit a brick wall and i was about to try and do electrics but i am in a little fear of blowing myself up..

Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

Sounds European from all the metrics. Not familiar with electrical codes over there. Why not just grab a plug n play lighting controller? Perhaps a flipbox?

12 meters is not that far. you can run a seperate cable to the new wall and make a seperate fuse box for the room. you can use a contactor or relay to switch on/off every light seperately. you need to be very careful for the ratings of wires running through the current of the lights. i would use a 50 amp breaker. in fact i would certainly hire an electrician for such an op... peace and stay safe
