"Too much" for a 20 amp breaker?
My pool house/ shed is supplied with a 100 amp subpanel off the main. In addition to the pool equipment, I recently installed a 20 amp breaker for two interior GFI outlets that I installed with which I plan to power a small stereo receiver (2 channel 200 watts) and a small refrigerator (10 cubic ft).
I'd like to also add a small interior overhead light with a switch and two exterior wall lights with a switch as well. Would this be too much for the 20 amp breaker or should I run a separate 15 amp for the lights? I understand the 80% of 2400 watts etc. Just not sure I'm missing something?
