outside lighting controls

marty88 · Apr 13, 2013

Hey guys, I've been tasked to connect 3x 250w floodlights controlled via a photocell and timeclock with contactor(all din rail mounted in an enclosure) iv already run 3 white fps to each flood and a 4 core fp back to the enclosure from the photocell, I understand I need a 5amp supply to my control circuit and one for my floods, connecting into and out of the time clock, it's just the contactor connections still baffle me! So anyone kind enough to explain this?

What you using a contactor for ? Seems a tad overkill for 750w

Sangamo timers will switch that all day long

would be more useful if they would switch at night, too, when you're more likely to need the lights on.

They do that too but you have to pay extra

Nice bit of art work there mate..... just curious which app you used to create it, if it was done on your ipad ?

Cheers Sy
