IWIRE,
Thanks alot, well using that which by the way is how i also see it. THis would mean that acording to code you could install 8 duplex recp. on a 15 amp circuit and 10.66 or (10) on a 20 amp circuit.

THis is really leaning onto the safe side as when I use to work new construction our rule of thumb was 10 items on a circuit no matter the case lighting or recpt's

I guess it never bit us back but with todays lighting it easilly could. I think that i will lean with the 8/10 rule from this point on.
