I am wiring a 600′ new apartment which has track lighting in all rooms. I have separate circuits for the bath and 7 for the kitchen as code requires. I was planing on putting in a 20 amp circuit for the lights only and the general receptacles on another. I’m using 12 gage wire throughout. My question is; am I wasting time and material by separating the lights. Would it be just as good splitting the apartment with two 20 amp circuits each with lights and receptacles?
