    How to wire a room for lights and receptacles?
    I am wiring three lights to two separate rooms.One light controls one light in one room the other switch controls two other lights.The room with one light has to reseptacles in it. The room with the two lights has three reseptacle in it.
    Both circuits will require separate 15 amp breakers.

    I was wondering if rather I wire the reseptacles separate from the light circuits on one breaker or If I could wire hot to series off the reseptacle to the lights separating the feed to each room by way of separate breakers.
