I'm in the process of helping someone finish a basement. I was an electrician's helper for about 6 years.
The basement I am wiring has 12 recessed lights, 2 hallway lights, 2 wall lights, 3 porcelan fixtures with bulbs, a bathroom light, 1 bathroom fan and one 4 foot flourescent fixture for a total of 22. Is this too much for a 15 amp circuit? I have figured out the amperage, and it is under 12 amps, but I am wondering if there is a limit to the number of lights that can be on one circuit.
If this is too many, what is the limit? There are 2 additional 20 amp circuits that I can use. One of these 20 amp circuits will have about 10 receptacles on it. Would it be ok to put some of the lights on this circuit?
