We prewired a building with one switch for three hanging fixtures in the entrance. We put this switch on a seperate 20 amp circuit. We did not know what type of fixtures they may purchase so we based our calculation on three fixtures @ 600 watts each. We were wrong...they have a total of 15-40 watt and 5-25 watt total 725 each or 2175 watts total. Am I correct in reading the code that this is a continious load so the maximum wattage I can have on this switch is 1920 watts? (120volts X 20 amps X 80%= 1920 watts)
I am trying to get them to change the 40 watt lamps to 25 watt but no luck.
Thanks for your help
