I want to install some security lighting externally around my workshop.
5x 150W tungstens with standalone but linked PIR's would do the job. All lamps lit if one PIR is triggered. I think most will cope with 750W load, if not I'll include a relay in the circuit.To ease running costs and maintenance I am thinking of led floodlights but have no experience of them. For the purpose they must be instant-on. Are led worth considering, or should I stick with tungsten?
Also any suggestions for reliable PIR's? I have one, Philips I think, installed 27 years ago and still working perfectly. Since then, others I have installed seem to fail almost annually.
Thanks, Nick.
