I just finished the installation for recessed lighting and passed the rough inspection but when I put all the bulbs in the breaker trips. I can have a single bulb in any of the 8 recessed cans with no problems. Within seconds of adding a second bulb anywhere, the breaker trips again. I couldn't find any wires exposed that should cause this.

What should I look for to find the short? Could the breaker be bad or just something with the lighting?

Any chance you can provide photos of the wiring in any of the junction boxes on each light fixture?

If all wired properly, there should be no problem.

I cannot imagine what the problems is if any one light will work, and any remaining lamps installed trips the breaker.
