Getting old, listen to what John T. has to say. I have been an IBEW state cert. electrician for 27 years and what John has to say is correct. What a lot of people miss when computing the load on a circut is the 80% NEC rule, which tells us if the load (lights) are going to be on for over a period of three hours the circut amps must be derated to 80% of the maximum wattage. On a 15 amp circut (15 x 120 = 1800 watts) 1800 watts is your maximum load but in this case you need to multiply by .8 which will give you your total LEGAL load on the circut which will be 1440 watts.This will make the NEC (nationl electrical code) and the local inspector and your insurance company real happy.
