I'm remodeling my kitchen and pulled all the old can lights and installed all Slim LED's that use 12 watts each for a total of 120 watts when all of them are on (10 lights). Seeing as the old lights were pulling 65watts each seems to me that this would leave a good surplus of watts available to use to add an outlet or two. I'm running the feed from the panel to a junction in the attic, from that junction one line goes to feed the kitchen light switch and the other line goes out to power the new branch with the added outlets. Are there any issues with this? It's a 15A circuit.
My Math for Circuit:
15 AMP Circuit @ 120V = 1,800 watts - 20% for operating cusion = 1440 watts for use - 120 watts for kithcen lights leaves 1,320 watts.
