The guys that sold you the lights should be able to set you up.

A lighting contactor is merely a relay with many poles. You need to switch 12 lines. (For 240v loads, you don't "have" to switch both lines, bu tit's still a good idea.) A 12-pole lighting contactor costs way, way more than either three 4-pole contactors or four 3-pole contactors.

Have a panel shop make you a control panel, it will faster a d better than you can make . Put a HOA switch in the door a a pilot light. An hour meter would be useful.

You might also need to take the location of the contactors in mind. Electicall held contactors can make a little noise when in operation. Often not a problem, but in some cases unacceptable. Mecanically held contactors will not make noise once energized but the contactors are more expensive
