Emergency lighting questions

if you believe the RS price........ I would have gone with red spots too

No I've not ordered any parts yet until I go back and see exactly what I need.

I was leaning towards circuit breakers as it provides double pole breaking under a fault but I'm not sure if this is really necessary.

Also it would be nice to fit an auxiliary contact to each breaker to trigger a fault buzzer or something along these lines.

Apparently double pole DC breakers are a common component in PV installations so hopefully they won't be too frightening on the price.

I was thinking that. Edmunson seem to do a bit of PV stuff now.
A quick google finds them about 25 pound each

I purchase some 1P DC Schneiders from Wilts earlier this year and they were well under £10.

Cool setup, shame there are no Tungar rectifiers in there. Is that spade crimp on the rectifier overheating or is it just dirt?
