Hey,
I was wondering if it was safe to wire 4 light sockets to one plug?
If it is can anyone tell me what I would need to do and what I would need.

Thanks

What do you mean by light sockets? And what's the planned use of the lights? (I don't mean so it's not dark anymore!)

Lighting isn't usually plugged in.
 
I think he means 4 lamps/lights into one three pin plug?
 
They will be going in a small storage area with no lighting and I wanted to be able to just plug them in.

Something sort of like this...

If there's no lighting circuits about why not just wire in a switched fused spur with a 3amp fuse?
 
That's fine as long as you use the correct cable, do a good job of the wiring, make sure the lampholders + wiring are secure and you use the correct size (3A) fuse in the plug.
