[QUOTE="99redtj, post: 1123189, member: 16072"] first off, if you want flourescent lights you need to get them with 0 degree starting ballast.most flourescent lights lights come with 50 degree ballast. do not use what you have shown in the picture. they make a porcelain lamp holder that will mount to a box. mount either a round or single gang nail on box where you want a light and run either 14-2 romax (15 amp breaker) or 12-2 romax (20 amp breaker) between each box and then to a box for your switch and then to your panel if you want to add a new circuit. a 20 amp breaker at 120 volts is good for 2400 watts,15 amp breaker is good for 1800. so lets say you plan on using 100 watt bulbs on a 20amp circuit you could put 14 incandescent lights on that 20 amp circuit safely without loading it up. to be on the safe side lets say around 10 incandescent lights on a 15amp circuit. happy wiring if that makes any sence at all to you.just remember bad wiring can equal fire. 99redtj [/QUOTE]
