Wiring&breaker for lighting circuit
Hi. I'm laying out my basement lighting. I expect to have 25 recessed lights, each is 75watt max rating (even though I will use LED, I know I must still assume max rating of fixture). 25x75=1875watts/120V = 15.6amps.
So, I cannot use one 15amp breaker and 14awg wire. Can I wire all the lights with 12awg and a 20amp breaker? All comments appreciated. Thanks Theodore |
