Default PCB question.

Quick Q- got a PCB mounting relay, which will handle mains volts. Anyone any idea of what sort of track separation I need to look at on a PCB. Current is not a problem as although relay is rated at 10A @240v AC, it will only be switching two 8w fluorescent tubes mounted in series.

3mm for live to neutral and at least 4mm live to ground.

Thanks- like that- mine will be on the main ( but no separate board of a timer on my new ( but long delayed light box project). When I get it up and running, I'll post a few pics and dimensions for anyone interested.
