<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andy21us, post: 374595, member: 2452&quot;]Daggarjon, what your electrician friend is talking about is the type of lights you will be using and the wattages they will be pulling. If you use too large of lights in a series circuit you could trip the breaker on the circuit you plug into if the wattage is to large for that circuit. You also need to take into account the type of lighting fixture and size of lamps or bulbs you will be using, too large of a bulb for the fixture could cause a fire or other problems with your electrical. Things to consider: Using fixtures and a switch that are grounded, use the right size wire for the amps that the lights will be using, and use the right size wire nuts when making any wire connections. In this case you should wire the lights in a parallel circuit and I would fuse the switch with the proper size fuse. You can find the amperes by using OHM&#039;S LAW formula </p><p>Amperes= Watts/Volts which is I=P/E or I=your watts of all lights over your volts. If your lights equal 180 watts 3 X 60 watts then your amperes would be 1.5 amps. I=180/120 = 1.5.</p><p>Here is a diagram that might help.</p><p>If you have any question send me a PM.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
