hello everybody,
I want some of the electrical geniuses to double check my plans. I am moving into a nice place and I want to setup a 4k bedroom flower room. I was planning on utilizing the oven circuit for powering the light control box. I assuming its a 40-50amp 240v circuit.
I was thinking I would turn off the oven breaker, double check that theres no voltage at plug with my multimeter, then get into the attic and chop the romex cable near the kitchen attic area. then get a metal junction box from home depot and 20' of more romex cable and run it into the bedroom through the ceiling in the closet and over to the control box mounted on the wall.
does any electrician forsee any problems or concerns in doing this? I figure if i run just 20 amps of lights on a 40-50 amp circuit I should be A-ok
my plans seem simple enough, I just want to make sure what Im doing is safe
edit* i will figure out what guage romex cable is already in use for the oven, and just get more of that, even though im only pulling half the available amperage
