I want to run 3 600's of a dryer outlet, but the dryer outlet is not in the growroom so what I want to do is run a wire from the dryer outlet up to to the attic than go nextdoor to the growroom via the cieling fan hole in the growroom bedroom.

the 600's have 240v and 120v cords also



Whats the the best way to do this?

and if possible be able to use the dryer outlet for an actual dryer every once in while when lights are off, if i could just un plug it and plug in the dryer.

I have the idea of running the lights of the 240v but how I actually do it I dont really know.
I want to plug in 3 lights on the 240v


but how do i wire it up



Do I buy the wire from homedepot and make sum kind of extension cord with 3 240v outlets at the end.

I want my lights to run off a timer too.





I'm sure plenty of people have run there lights of 240v and had to run the 240 to the growspace.............thats what I want to do



How do i do it?

Yea I'm a bit confused also.If you have room in the attic you can put a junction box in the ceiling and run your circuit down the desired wall.You need to be more specific though.If the romex isnt stapled down the wall you could just pull it up into the attic and see if you have enough length to relocate it

I have a laundry room and a bedroom, the bedroom is right across the hall to the laundry room


The laundry room has an attic access point above the 240 outlet

and the bedroom has a hole to the attic where a cieling fan can go.......so I don't have to cut any holes in the drywall.


and this is an apartment but I haven't had the power cut on yet, I'd like to make this as temporary as possible so if need be I can unplug the wires ect if any security reasons arise

There are any number of threads here on IC discussing exactly this same issue. Do a search and you'll find the information you need. Once you've learned the basics, you can ask any questions specific to your application.

It's kind of unreasonable for you to expect the electricians here to re-type stuff we have all written many times before just to save you the trouble of doing a search.
