    3 - 75w outdoor flood lights, 2 - 120 watt lights, 1 -60w light on 15 am breaker
    Can a 15 amp breaker handle 3 75-w outdoor floods, 3 post lights with 3-40w candelabra bulbs in each ?

    Breaker trips every 2 days,- they are on a light sensor dusk to dawn

    That is less than 5A. Why it is tripping is anybody's guess.
    Anything else on the circuit?
    Nicked wire?
    Poor splice?
