    Wiring multiple lights for shop
    My question on wiring multiple lights... I have recently built a shop and ran out of money to electrify it. I have purchased 10 4 foot lights that use T8 bulbs and have a couple hooked to an extension cord for lighting that allows current use. I would like to wire one switch to all 10 lights. Three across one truss, three across the next truss (10') away and two on the next truss. With two over a work bench area. Later I will run a 100 amp breaker system for my house to the shop. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Not sure what the question is. Depending on the total load of the lights you probably can put them on one switch. You will need to get the operating wattage information from one of the fixtures before we can answer your question.
