Hello, I'm adding some recessed lighting in my basement. The wiring that is there consists of some 14/2 wire and 12/2 wire for the existing recessed lights. There are 4 of them right now. I was wanting to add 6 more on one 15 amp circuit. The bulb themselves would be 65 watt spots. Will one 15 amp circuit handle 6 lights? Can I get away with using 14/2 NM wire or should I use the heavier 12/2 on the new circuit? When all is done I would have 2 -15 amp circuits that have 6 recessed lights each. Is this safe?
Thanks in advance, Joseph Indiana
