I have a basic 500W outdoor security floodlight and would like to install it on my premises for the added security.
This one does not have motion detector. I already have a motion detector light currently in place. I would like to wire this into an off switch and turn it on when I leave and leave it on.
My questions are will this light eat the electricity as I will have this on from 6pm to 8pm the next morning 7 days per week.
Would I be right in thinking that the amount of juice it will use would be roughly equivalent to 5 standard 100W bulbs?
Will this be OK to wire into my current lighting circuit?
And finally is there any way I can rig this up to work off a timer so that I can control the times it switches off.
In simple language guys as I am not familiar with the jargon used here.
Thanks for your advice.
