Decided to make a Lighting Contactor panel so I didn’t have to run all over the barn turning on light switches. Pretty simple design. Bought one 4 pole N.O. contactor on Amazon with a 120v coil, and one 2 pole N.O. / N.C. Plug in relay with a 24vac coil. Since I already had a new small step-down 24v transformer it was easy to do the push button station using 3 wire thermostat cable. I re-routed the lighting circuits from the main panel through the new contactor panel. Now I can hit the push button when I open the garage and all the lights are on. I decided to keep the existing light switches so I can manually turn off some lights. Simple little project that worked out great.
