Hello,
I'm adding some recessed lighting in my basement. The wiring that is there
consists of some 14/2 wire and 12/2 wire for the existing recessed lights.
There are 4 of them right now. I was wanting to add 6 more on one 15 amp
circuit. The bulb themselves would be 65 watt spots. Will one 15 amp circuit
handle 6 lights? Can I get away with using 14/2 NM wire or should I use the
heavier 12/2 on the new circuit? When all is done I would have 2 -15 amp
circuits that have 6 recessed lights each. Is this safe?

Thanks in advance,
Joseph
