about 12 amp under the circuit capacity IIRC.

Don't think that's the issue...I think (US anyway) code only allows a

Note I'm not saying it's an unsafe combination, just pointing out what

Technically I think Duane is correct here. The preferred way would be to
have the circuit feed a sub-panel and have two circuits branch off from
there. Keep this in mind if you are going to have your electrical
inspected.
