Im adding about 25 new lights (recessed cans, track lighting and under cabinet lights) to an older home that has 3 federal pacific panels.

I believe that FP panels have been outlawed because their design was faulty and were prone to over current (breakers failing to trip properly) problems and fire.

There is probably only 3-4 folks on this desk who knew that Don was right, he is one, I am one and there must betwo more out there like TKRussel.
