Responding to: ???'s previous message
For the lights, I've chosen for relais. Why? The consumption of the relais will be low. Since I divided my circuits in such a way that I can control almost every light individual, there's no need for 'heavy' relais. The ones that I will use will be able to switch a max. of 10A (on 220V, that means roughly 2200W!!!).

If it is tungsten lamps, the realy need be capable of the inrush current which is approx 6 times the rated current. Thus max light will be ~350W
