A bit more to normal 'outside lights'

[moosey86]

Hi guys,

I have a customer who has 3 150W metal halide floodlights along the front of his club. They are currently switched via a photocell on the far corner.

The customer now wants to keep the photocell but have them on a time clock so they are not running all night but also have it so that they overide the time clock by two movement sensors in series one by the entrance gate in case anyone access' the premises after hours and one by the front door for late night functions so that people can go home safely and well lit up.

I have ideas on how to go about this but I was wondering how you guys would do it in case I'm missing a gem some where!!

Cheers

series the time clock before the phototocell. parallel the sensors and wire the sensor switched L to the lights L.

Be mindfull with the MH fittings will take time to warm up if being used for security

Won't the switching on off via the movement sensors knacker the control gear quicker?

If it does it could mean more work for our Friend Moosey.

Should get a week out of it, :stooge_moe:

id be concerened about the sensor Idea due to the warming up you could put something like an ELKAY time switch inside the door overriding the P/C and T/C when required OR you could fit a standard PIR light to assist the egress this would probably be easier to do and would mean the light was instant
