Whatever works for you but just remember not to put too many outlets
on one circuit. Up to 8 on 15 amps and 10 on 20 amp.


Does residential have limits on numbers of outlets on a circuit?Â* I
thought
that it didn't.

At any rate, those are good numbers to keep in mind.

In a shop, I think you don't want too many devices on the same run.
I think it goes without saying that you should be running 20 amp
circuits (12 gauge wire), doesn't it? Use 15 amp for the lighting.


Lighting can be on 20 amp or 15 amp circuits, it doesn't mater. What
matters is the wire size. Code requires 12 gauge for 20 and 14 gauge for 15.
