Hi There!

I am wondering how many lights, (the most common BC or screw variety of 15-25W) can I put on one 10 amp circuit. I would need this to also be plugged into the wall as opposed to a switch, would this be OK? Also, could you tell me how to properly connect each light in series and if so do I need any junction boxes/transformers. I have heard of a 14/3 wire which would need to go from one light to the next would this be OK too? I was thinking of attaching 8 lights in a string with around 50cm between each light, would this distance be OK?

Thank you

Claire

Are you located in the US/Canada or somewhere else?

Hi, I forgot to say, I'm in Edinburgh UK, I'm not sure if this makes a difference?

Donf- In terms of the "15 amp circuit" for the "residential wiring plan" does this still apply if I am attaching a plug to the end rather than directly to the circuit of the house if you see what I mean? So I basically want it to be abit like a festoon ;Elec Outdoor Festoon Party Light String Harness with 40 BC Lampholders - 15M - QVS Electrical Supplies | Electrical Wholesaler

The simplest answer would actually be just to buy this but the base of each light is too large for what I need it for.

(I'm ever so sorry for my lack of terminology by the way, I am an artist so I don't really know much about electronics!)

Thanks :-)

Everything I posted is incorrect because you are in the UK.

I have no experience with UK electrical system.

I'll delete my posting rather than leave it there and confuse anyone else.
