You can't put to many breakers in that panel. GE panels use "T" slots for
their mini breakers. Your panel will only have as many of these slots as
they want you to be able to install breakers. Some folks prefer full sized
breakers and some half. Use whatever you're comfortable with. At some point
if you install to many circuits in the panel for the size of the service,
your main breaker will trip letting you know it's time for a service
increase. HTH

Oops, no lights.

Well one too many.

I have a GE service panel in my home that accepts both 1/2" and 1"
breakers. As I add circuits to this box, is there any advantage to
using 1" breakers over 1/2"? I'd rather use 1/2" since that will
allow me to add twice as many circuits. Obviously, there's the
potential to overload the box, but, for the sake of discussion, let's
assume that I'm smart enough not to do that.
