1 light socket and 1 plug in socket enough to run 425 watts?
You are good to go as long as you don't have lots of other stuff on the same circuit. Plug in a small microwave with that and you will blow a fuse.1 light socket and 1 plug in socket enough to run 425 watts?
Most US codes say that 15 amp circuits are lighting use. And 20 amp circuits are appliance use.us electrical code is a max of 1000 watts per circuit.
that equates to about 10 amps, with 5 amps left for saftey.
15 amp household circuit
a commercial circuit can go 20 amps so your safe with about 1500 watts per circuit.
I chase sparks, and this little point right here is hard to explain and understand. Where I live, for instance, you can have 7 lights or recepticles on a 15 amp circuit. But, a 20 amp circuit is only allowed 5 recepticles because it is used for appliances.I am on sat internet.
