I am in the process on finishing my basement. It consists of 2, 225sq/ft rooms and a full bathroom. Can anyone tell me if I might possibly be wrong in my electrical layout?
Circuit 1 - 20amp breaker and 12/2 ROMEX®. I wired the receptacles for both main rooms. There are 10 total with the first in the string being a GFI.
Circuit 2 - 15amp breaker and 12/2 ROMEX®. I wired the lighting for both main rooms. There are 16 recessed lights total each with 60 watt bulbs.
Circuit 3 - 20amp breaker and 12/2 ROMEX®. I wired the bathroom. There is 1 GFI, a light bar over the sink containing 3 - 60 watt bulbs and an exhaust fan.
Circuit 4 - 15amp breaker and 12/2 ROMEX®. I wired for my home theater. This basically runs to 4 receptacles and an over head light (60 watt bulb) as my cabling is located under my basement stairs that I converted into a space for my home theater wires/cables.
Circuit 4 I separated for no specific reason other than I thought my plasma TV, stereo, etc. pulled too much wattage to be included on circuit 1.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
