50 watt equals less than 1/2 amp current flow at 120 volts so you can have 30 light on a 15amp breaker or 40 on a twenty amp breaker.

How many 40 watt regular lights can you put on a 20 amp switch?
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 many 150 watt flood lights can be on a 20 amp circuit?
The voltage needs to be known to give an answer to this question.
What size amp circuit breaker do you use on a 55 watt fluorescent light?
A 55 watt fluorescent light only pulls 0.4 amps. Lights can be installed on a 15 amp breaker using 14/2 wire. A maximum of 1440 watts is all that is allowed on a 15 amp circuit.
How many LED lights can you put on a 20 amp circuit?
The electrical code states that circuit conductors that are fed by this breaker on a continuous load can only be loaded to 80%. Therefore you can have a load of 1,920 watts on this circuit. Assuming you install 8 watt bulbs you can have 240 on this circuit.
How many watts on a 40 amp circuit breaker?
about 4800 watt but should not use it 100% so to be safe 4000 watt (80%)

How many 150 watt flood lights can be on a 20 amp circuit?
The voltage needs to be known to give an answer to this question.
Number of 70 watt lights on a 15 amp circuit?
The formula you are looking for is Watts = Amps x Volts.
What size amp circuit breaker do you use on a 55 watt fluorescent light?
A 55 watt fluorescent light only pulls 0.4 amps. Lights can be installed on a 15 amp breaker using 14/2 wire. A maximum of 1440 watts is all that is allowed on a 15 amp circuit.
0n a 120 volt 20 amp circuit can you safely power 1 -1000-watt light 2 -600-watt lights and a 80-watt water pump?
No, the current will be too high.
How many amps would a 150 watt bulb draw in a 120v circuit?
1 amp

How many 1.2 amp lights can a 20 amp breaker hold?
No more than 13 maximum on a 20 amp circuit.
How many lights on 20 amp circuit?
Provided you use wire that is rated for 20 amps.
How many recessed lights can you put on a 20 Amp circuit breaker?
If there is nothing else on the circuit then you could easily install 15. If there are outlets on the same circuit then try and keep the total of outlets and lights to a maximum of 15. But in reality the number of devices depends on how many amps each device pulls. Add up the amperage of the recessed lights you are going to install and then add any outlets and what may be plugged into them to get the number you can install. A 100 watt light bulb will draw about 1 amp. So you can easily have 15 on a 20 amp circuit.
Can you upgrade a 15 Amps circuit breaker for a 40 Amp for a 8.5 Watt shower?
Not unless you change the wiring for that circuit. The breaker protects the wiring and if you install a 40 amp breaker on a 15 amp wire circuit you will have a fire in your home.
