Hi all! Long time lurker here. I've gleaned a lot of useful info from these forums. I'm planning out the wiring in my new shop, and I would like to have 2 separate banks of lights. The for lights I have 12 "T8" style integrated LED strips from Amazon, 36W each, for 3.6A total load, and I'd like to run them all on one circuit. I know I could just run two dedicated 2-wire (H/N/G) runs to each bank, but I'm wondering if wiring them like the diagram below would be code acceptable.


To me this doesn't seem any different than wiring a ceiling fan & light to two separate switches.


For wire, I'll be pulling individual conductors vs. the NM-B in my sketch, but you get the drift. Is this allowable? Oh yeah, I'm in Florida so NEC 2017 still applies.
