I am creating a custom cable light system and have a question about what the system will support.
I will be using 20' of 16 ga. insulated wiring, anchored into wooden studs at one end and plugged into a 110v standard outlet at the other end. The wiring will be attached to insulators and drawn taught.
My question is, using 120v/50w halogen bulbs and no transformer, how do I figure out how many bulbs can be placed in this circuit before I overload it? Or how many amps will support how many of these bulbs? Thank you
