I'm looking for advice on designing control for two workshop spaces with large lighting loads.
Both spaces are 30'x25'. One has approx 1200 watts of fluorescent tube lights (2x 32w tube per fixture, 18 fixtures); the other has a pair of halide high-bay lights (best guess 400w each, I don't have a ladder long enough to read the ballast labels).
Two questions:
What's the best practice in cases where the load exceeds the RRD-8ANS rating?
- LMJ-16R-DV-B to control the load and Pico remotes at the switch locations seems like it would work, but will I come to regret not having a physical switch somewhere?
- RRD-8ANS controlling a relay that controls the load- something else?
What is the best way to minimize "false vacancies" (ie occupancy sensor turns the lights off when someone is there)?.
My concern is that someone typing (fine motion) or working under a vehicle has the lights go out on them. The halides in particular take a long time to re-strike the arc when they are warm.
[left]Will multiple LRF2 sensors around the space be sufficient, or do I need to consider an ultrasonic/dual-tech/other sensor for this application?Thanks for your input.
