Hi. I am laying out the wiring circuit for a 2 vanity bathroom serving 2 girls. The girls are 6 & 4 years old so I assume in the near future they will be blow drying their hair at the same time. I wanted to do 2 circuits for the bathroom, keeping each vanity's GFCI receptacle on a separate circuit. I read that code requires at least one 20amp GFCI Receptacle circuit per bathroom and I would prefer to not do 3 circuits.
I was thinking about one 15amp GFCI circuit to vanity A's receptacle and the adjacent wall receptacle.
The second circuit would be 20amp and supply vanity B's GFCI receptacle, the adjacent wall recpetacle, 2 recessed lights and the ceiling exhaust/fan (1.1amps)
1) Does anyone see a problem with this regarding current code (NJ if anyone is familiar) since I have the lights & fan on the 20amp circuit?
2) is this question a waste of time and I should just go with two 20amp receptacle circuits and supply the lighting/fan from another room's 15amp circuit(lol)?
Thanks! Keith
