Can I tie all the outlets into one circuit, and how many amps --same with the lights. -or--- should I run 2 circuits and split the outlets in half on each breaker

    !5 outlets is a lot for one circuit but could you tell us what you will be pulling in to the outlets? What will the load be? I usually run hardwired smoke detectors on their own dedicated circuit.
