Hello,
I am refinishing the family room in my basement, getting ride of the old 70’s looking paneling and using drywall. The existing electric in the family area is a 20 amp circuit. It was there when we bought the house. The lights are basic porcelain base with a 75 watt light bulb. I would like to put recessed lighting about 6 of them and wanted to know if I need to find 20 amp lights or will standard recessed lights work. I’m worried about over heating the wires.
Thanks
Jack
