SNIP HAPPENS

I hope I am doing this correct I have a converted closet Not a walk-in
just one with the bi-fold doors it has been converted to a home
office,my question is basically the same except I want an electrician
to do it and DO NOT want to go against code.any professionals out
there have a problem with putting in about 4-5 outlets to be primary
source for computer,monitor,printer lights etc....
Thanks

If you are going the professional route, I seriously suggest that you
have the
pro run two separate 20 amp 12 ga circuits into the office area.

One to power the machines, one for serious lighting.

Some will think this overkill, but in the last 20 years I have only seen
power draw from computers, scanners, printers, wall warts for modems,
monitors, shredders, wall warts for phones, laptop wall warts/ chargers,
TVs, VCRs / CD players, etc etc etc grow and grow and grow.

Pulling two cables at one time now is a lot easier and cheaper in the
long run

You might want to look io GFCI breakers for new ircuits, and also look
at surge protector breakers or whole house surge protection and use
"strip" type surge proctectors IN ADDITION.
