    Calculating wattage: each bulb, or fixture?
    Hi there again. Thanks for all the useful help on this site. I think the last piece of info I need to complete my project is, when calculating wattages, (ex, 15 amp, 1440 watts max), if a light fixture has 4-60 watt bulbs, does that count as 240 watts or as one fixture at 60. Sounds like a stupid question, and I'm assuming 240 watts, but just making sure. Thanks!
