House can't supply enough power

[antifmradio]

I'm in the UK so our codes/rules may well be different, but I'm pretty sure its unwise to run lighting on the same circuit as power sockets. I've remodeled multiple houses and (over here, so, as I say maybe different rules) we have separate feeds for lighting, power sockets, then others for high draw feeds like kitchen appliances. I've always specified multiple separate 30amp feeds for my studio and again for the garage where I need high draw feeds for tig and mig welders.

Each circuit group (lighting, wall outlets, specific outlets) then has its own matched RCD.

you have no idea how many times i wish EVERYONE would do the same lol

infact what i have been doing with my home is
appliances ARE separated from lights with the exception of a ceiling fan. i count that as a LIGHT

I have to admit I'm a bit stunned that US codes don't specify this. The load. power, breaker and RCD types are different for all of these services so, to me at least, its completely logical to separate them out.

Aside from any safety concerns, it gives you the best flexibility as far as setting up your house with feeds that are not going to blow...
