customer wants 500w flood to guard driveway and absolutley insists on maximum shock when approaching front door as they have had windows smashed on 3 occassions. I have tried to explain that 150w will do the job as i am concerned about breaching some bylaw or something about light polution in a residential area and the fact that when we hit winter it will be energising for every visitor. Shall i just go ahead with a 5 second timer or walk away?. no pun intended

I 've just had a thought, i could put a timer in the circuit. but what about the 500w anyway
I tend to normally explain to the client regarding L1B however if they insist then just get a written waiver on behalf of any of your design.
No amount of lighting will prevent windows being smashed.

thanks flameport and widdler, i'll continue with the 150w approach and quote your kind information, I have told them that i cannot guarantee it will prevent the vandalism. cheers
Use a 500 watt fitting and fit a 150 watt lamp.
The owner can always change it to a 500w if desired.
Some fittings round here now come with a 400 watt lamp.

Better hurry, Flameport's notice changes in October this year.
2010 guide P123
It will become 100W per lighting fitting instead of 150W and 45 lumens/circuit watt instead of 40.
