Best Answer

You can safely put 48 regular (incandescent) 40 watt lights on a 20 amp circuit. If at some future date you might place higher wattage lights in the circuit, you will want to limit the number of lights to 20.

How does the light output of led lights compare to regular lights?

LED light have a much higher light output per watt: luminous efficacy (lm/W). Incandescent lights have luminous efficacy ranging from 14 to 18 lm/W, whereas LED lights have a typical efficacy of 100 lm/W at high outputs. It means that a LED lamp of only 1/6 the watt rating can replace incandescent light bulbs.

How many kw in five hours does 10 20 watt 12 volt lights use?

If you have ten 20-watt lights running they take a power of 200 watts, continuously. If run for 5 hours they take 200x5 watt-hours of energy, which is 1000 watt-hours or 1 kilowatt-hour. That would register as 1 unit on a domestic electricity meter. This does not depend on the voltage of the lamps.
