what is the best type of 70w son floodlights? got to be cheap though? i have had a look but not sure which ones are any good?

i no that matey, just wondering if i could use a bigger cable to the first and second junction boxes then down size from there? 70w will have to do i think.

basically the cable from the consumer unit will be running 50 mts into a junction box, teeing off from that junction box will be 3 lights. then the main cable will carry on 30mts to another junction box, teeing off to power 4 lights. lightswitch to each set of lights is there any way to...

i am about to purchase either 150w or 250w x 7off sodium floods. are sodium lights of discharge type? if so would i have to use a correction factor of 1.8 for the total load? the lights are to be wired on the same circuit using a 20AX waterproof switch along with a 10A type c mcb...

thanks for the help, would the lights need the plastic cover to comply? also would the lights need to be ip rated due to the barn being an open sided building.1? going to take a second look tomorrow. might take a few pictures to elabourate for you guys.

ok, the low bays would need to be fitted with a plastic cover though wouldn't it? also how may of these lights could you run from a 20ax switch? would the 10a type c mcb nucience trip?

so any ideas on the above low lighting? wont need to be lighting great areas

The thing is, it is a big barn, probs 30mts x 50mts. BUT the farmer only needs lighting in certain parts of the barn. I.e where the cows are fed etc. Where the lights are is 4.5mts high aprox. The bigger floods were to light up a general open area of the barn. Just to give some light

Hi pressure sodium it is then??!!

If I used low energy low watt lights. Could I run then all of one mcb?? As there would be less load?
