The operating current on a 240v system is 3amp (6amp for the pair). Is there any chance you would run them from a 110v converter? That would need 16 amp capable cable to run both which is pretty chunky/heavy/pricy.
Assuming you actually only need 240v operation your cable choices should be easier.
Airhead-
Thanks. I do actually have some 16amp stuff for shooting in studios but was wondering how far I could push 13a connections. If it comes to it could be 1 light per extension and then other things like cameras with much lower draws. It'd just be nice to have a single cable run from a wall into the work area rather than multiples.
CYOA
Are there any restrictions on the colour of extension cable coating?
And if not, any recommendations for custom cabling supplier? I'd like a set of 4 x 20m to 40m cable reels capable of plugging in two lights with these specs:
Power Consumption ≤720W
Operating Current 8A
Operating Voltage 100V~240V, 50Hz/60Hz
Would like a particular colour on the cable and then branding on the drums.
