Staircase Timer Switch on LEDs

[baldelectrician]

My preference would be to put the lot on a photocell- preferably with a small contactor

Ive just found the ELPA8 timer switch data sheet and it says a max of 300w LED load. I've got 320 watts. I cant believe its that sensitive that it would not work due to an additional 20 watts.

Take one lamp out and see if it works.

That was my exact first thought, but as no-one else had suggested it until now I decided to make a cup of tea instead.

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best.

Don't see it will make any difference.

Apart from one light would now not be working.

If the load decreases from above the permitted load the it proves the switch works with the lower loading.

Then you can come on to the forum and ask about switches.

Purchase a different switch that works with a higher load rating, jeeez some of you lot need some major hand holding, see my Youtube channel on how to use a right handed screwdriver and lessons on how to chat women up.
