I may be mis remembering, but isn't there in the NEC a limit on the
total number of fixtues / devices on a circuit,
regardless of the total wattage drawn by the devices / fixtures?

Isn't 18 devces / fixtures too many?


Good catch. Yes, any equipment fastened in place can't exceed 50% of
the circuit rating (NEC 210.23). If the fixtures are rated for 100
watts, he could only put 9 on a 15 amp circuit.
