I need to put some lights up outside.
Parking lot style pole lights, but mounted on an I beam. There are 12 - 400 watt metal halide.
Boss wants to turn them on with a photo cell but turn them off with a time clock as they MUST turn off no later than midnight.
I figure putting a photocell and a timeclock in series with a lighting contactor coil will do the trick. I will set the timeclock to turn on at 4 pm.
Boss does not want an astromical time clock for whatever reason.
Does anyone have any experince with this?
It sounds like a good idea to me, just wanted to run it by you guys before spending to much time and money on it.
