STEP 1
Determine the number of lighting outlets
by direct counting.
11 L.O
NOTE:
GET THE TOTAL COUNT
OF LIGHTING OUTLET
WITH THE SAME
WATTAGE IN A SINGLE
CIRCUIT.
STEP 2
Compute the Total Power (watts) of L.O.
by multiplying the Total number of
lighting outlets to its corresponding
Wattage rating in the circuit. Determine
also the ampere load of the circuit.

Example: 11 L.O. X 100 Watts= 1100

watts 1100W / 230V= 4.78 Ampere
NOTE: The National Electric Code provides that: “100 watts shall
be the maximum load for each household lighting outlet.”
