As you can see, it doesn't take much to max out your 30A circuit.

If you haven't yet installed LED lights, it might be something to consider as they require about 1/5 to 1/10 of the requirements of incandescent bulbs.
So if I have 20 led's running then how many amps am I drawing? Also what does one led draw?
