Help - Plugs on lights are weird

plug in a lamp or a radio .. then listen or watch....... and flip breakers to tell which circuit is which

Roland said:

you probably have two 20 amp circuits in kitchen .. if u have a newer kitchen .. they are there for appliances

just a normal plug in timer will work fine .. it just means that the receptacle matches a 15 a plug

when u get over 20 A or 240 etc.. it won't fit

The stove & dishwasher have their own dedicated circuits, so that makes 3 for the kitchen. One of the "lighting" circuits may be for the kitchens lights as well. Not sure if there are any more.

They put 12 circuits into this smaller/mid sized 1 br apartment, what morons. I inherited part of a 3 floor, 3 apartment (2 br) brownstone in NY back in 02. It was built in the 40s or 50s, had 110v wiring all around except for one dedicated line that was run for the upstairs window A/C unit. Including that one, that house had 10 total circuits (3 for each floor plus one 220v for the upstairs a/c). That house definately needed more circuits, but 10 did the job. I can't beleive there are 12 in this one apartment.

BTW, did the rep+ work? If not I'll give it another try. I'm pretty good at figuring stuff out beleive it or not. lol

Yeah ..it worked ... Thanks ...

Cool ..u got plenty of power ... no spares ? .. Bathrooms often have separate circuits and 2 for bedrooms .. dining rooms may have one dedicated circuit .. etc

Spares? It can take 2 more breakers before it's full if that's what you mean. But I'm not gonna re-wire. After a harvest or two I'll be moving anyway. I need more growing room.

The dining room is market but the bath room isn't. They have 4 marked for lighting though and I'm sure that can't be right. Including the bathroom I have 5 light fixtures and one 3 bulb chandeleir. So 2 that are marked lights are probably really bathroom & living room. The bedroom must be mislabled too because it's not listed either.

I'm sure that the one circuit will probably be enough for the lights, but if not the 2 circuits with the closest plugs would be bath & bed room. Both are pretty close.

Maybe tommorow I'll turn em off 1 by 1 to figure them out and mark them properly.

Hey, it's getting late, I'm gonna hit the hay. Thanks again Roland, I'm sure I'll see you here again before long. You can also look for my grow journal, I'll be posting one.
