Hi.
I'm about to put up one of those boring black 500w halogen lamps with a PIR sensor above the back door. But, will adding 500w to the lighting circuit be too much? I have access to both the lighting circuit and the ring main at this point, so which would it be bettter to take the feed from? Yes, it will be switched.
Logic, of course, says lights from the lighting circuit. I just wonder if 500w more is a big addition. It's not a big house and all the lights run off of one single lighting circuit. My heart says it would be OK but I just want a second opinion.
Thanks folks.
