What size breaker would you need for a 600 watt light?

A 120 volt, 600 watt light draws approximately 5 amps. In the US, electrical codes specify that continuous load current should not be more than 80% of the breaker rating, so a 10A breaker would be the minimum size standard breaker. However, if this is a practical situation (as opposed to a basic arithmetic problem), it would be very unusual to put in a 10A circuit. Most residential lighting circuits are designed to carry 15A, even if that is not the immediate requirement. The occupant could decide to increase the load in the future.
