You'll need to rewire it. 6000W at 120V is 50A. Even if you can find a 50A breaker, it's almost certainly a code violation (and a safety hazard) to simply replace the breaker without also rewiring to use a heavier gauge wire. It would be much better to break the wiring out into say 3 20A circuits with two 1000W bulbs on each circuit.

How does the natural greenhouse effect allow life to exist?

Natural greenhouse effect maintain the temperature of earth in night because if it will not so there will have too cold at night.carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere allows the light to come in earth surface and it allows only 10% of the light to escape out into space.


How does the greenhouse effect trap the heat?

Visible light passes through the atmosphere readily with little absorption. This light energy hits the surface of different materials and the planet itself. Some of this energy is converted into thermal energy which can more readily be absorbed by the greenhouse gases. Water vapor, the most common greenhouse gas is able to dispel this energy through rain, and the other gases keep us alive and warm through the night. Without greenhouse gases, we would be unable to survive on this planet.


The primary mechanism by which CO2 contributes to global warming is by what?

The sun's light and heat (in all the visible frequencies) warms the surface of the earth. The earth then emits heat in the form of lower-frequency infra-red rays which can be trapped by the carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.


Where do greenhouses gases trap energy?

Greenhouse gases are very light but they change how sunlight is reflected back out into space in that greenhouse gases do not allow as much sunlight to be reflected. This increases the amount of energy held within the atmosphere and warms the planet

Utility outlets and lighting outlets should be separate so that when a utilization device plugged into an outlet trips the breaker or blows the fuse, you won't be left trying to find your way to safety in the dark. Light fixtures are much less likely to trip a breaker in ordinary use, but there are places you also want more than one lighting circuit for illumination.
