LED Lighting with PIR Sensor

[ThrownRazor25]

We are installing LED 180W High Bay lights. Most areas have 2, there is 1 with 3 and 1 with 4 so most are 360W, 1 is 540W and 1 is 720W.

The PIR sensor we got said it could switch 2300W but after opening the box, it says max LED load is 100W. Why is this? Will the PIS be okay or will we need to go through a contactor?

probably because of LED inrush. use a 3 pole contactor, 1 pole for each run. youmay need a capacitor across the contactor coil as PIRs don't like inductive loads.
