Dedicate at least three (3), 1P-20A circuits for lighting.


I read that it's better to use 15A circuits for lighting since the wire in
lighting fixtures is comparatively fine, such wiring may get screwed up by
the time the C'Breaker switches off.

I also read one shouldn't buy the cheapest flourescent lighting fixtures one
can find as they tend to have cheap ballasters.



Finally, buy a 10-2 with ground, 25 ft long molded cord set, chop off the
receptacle end and rewire with an extra deep, 2 gang box wired with a pair
of receptacles. It becomes your "go to" extension cord.


This sounds good.

Is this what you mean?
