i have asked this before, but forgot the outcome!!!!

can anyone recommend a good 12volt relay which i can use to switch 2 x 500watt 240v halogen lamps from my galaxy 60 in my house? I intend for these lamps to come on in the event of an intrusion and i also want to assign a code to them as a 'link' so i can turn them on/off whenever.

hope someone can help?

I'd go with that, I usually find that at least one wholesaler in any area will have a range of relays\contactors\enclosures\starters etc...

Yep - gardiners do them with the base too - about 7 squid all-in.

How would you do that? Would you wire the relay contacts across the light switch, and get the panel to activate the relay in an alarm condition?

Yep.

I think you'll find that they will switch 10A ,so 2x500w will be no problem.
