For the link between the switch and ballast we use 2 pairs of cat 5e , can also be used to control DALI. LUTRON.and C-BUS to mention a few I would also recommend the installation of bootlace crimps

I think its going to look bad with all of the conduits. have you ever used radio controled switching.

LOTS AND LOTS what do you want to know

To be honest I haven’t got a clue about them. So anything would help me out, I need to switch one bank of 8, two banks of 2 and a single light in a class room. I am using the twin 24w pll Apollo Lighting Ltd - Centurion
the lights are currently wired would I be use current mains wiring even though all thirteen lights are on a single switch[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

O'K' No big deal , if its a one off and you've never used them before look at either Wise controls or Rako they both do ' stand alone ' units the instructions supplied are quite simplistic either go to their web sites or visit Mr Resistor It's not that difficult just a logical approach .
Have a look if there's anything you don't understand or want help with let me know , failing that you could go the the C-Bus route , send me all the info and I'll do the design and email the software and I'll guide you through programming on site over the phone

Send me all the details and I'll sort it the easiest way

Horses for courses, if he has never done wirless before then wise is easy to use and reliable,
Wise controls are not manufactured by Mr Resistor , they are a main distributor

The technical guy from mr resistor said they commissioned wise controls and they sub out the manufacture, just going on what I heard, It was easy to set up had a whole house on there Dim slim stuff not saying its a bad choice. Had a complete nightmare integrating their push button transmiters into a european back box though.
I do prefer Rako.

YEP, and I prefer C-Bus until of course we ALL start using KNX

They are always way ahead of us . The two way switching in the house was done with a common switch line run to all of the points at which you wanted 2 way and then they use relays in the switches nice oh and some of the Hager breakers were already pushfit connections!. I like the look of the Klik stuff with the shotgun plugs.
