Switch for HP Sodium Lights

[MalcyB]

Hi All

I don't usually do commercial that's why I'm asking for your valuble advice.

A friend has asked me to wire a switch into a lighting circuit, in a works unit he has just started renting. The previous tennants used to switch them on using the mcb!!

The circuit consits of three 150W High Pressure Sodium lights in the bay.

My question is am I able to use a standard switch or does it need to be a special kind of switch?

Thanks in advance.

nothing with a normal switch, just dont put too many on each one.

also, you can use the MCB as a switch (not ideal though)

Great thanks for that guys

PS Deke.

He doesn't want his employees going into the board to switch the lights on.

A quality single pole switch is rated at 10 amps so should easily handle that load if its X rated.
