pir lights

[mmcfad4]

Had a callout the other day to a house that just had the livingroom done up so they had a spark come and do the spotlights, one set of six and one set of three, the original switches where doubles so he left these as they where and with the spare switch on each plate he ran two pir 500w (front & back door) lights, taking supply from lighting circuit.

The reason i was called is he hasn't been back to 2nd fix these and the owner has two T&E!!(no protection) dangling outside his front door.

I'm thinking of just starting again and putting these lights on their own fcu as having these lights on the same protection as the lighting circuit then presents a problem for the owner if the outside light trips, and for the spark for maintenance purposes(fcu double pole and all that).

What you think lads?

i think if it is fed off a 6 amp mcb it is probably going to trip. 2 x 500w lamps =4 amps plus at least 9 x spots! assuming the lighting circuit has no RCD protection, pre 17th regs?
put them onto FCUs save lots of mider
