I am an electrician / Electrical Contractor. My current position is estimator / project manager.

My responses were based on CODE. Not what anyone with a screw driver could acomplish. AND NO, you cannot feed a lighting circuit with a 100A breaker, check your code book. #12 is limited to 20A, again, check your code book. I don't only come on a forum and play electrical contractor, it...

That is why he had to build himself such a nice hiding spotl As a tradesman, nice job. It looks like a lot of thought and planning went into this project.

True, about the #12 for 25A, but you still cannot put it on a breaker larger than 20A.

You do not need to multiply the lighting load by 125%. You are fine at the stated loads as long as there are no other loads or receptacles on that 20A circuit. Yes, you can only load the breaker to 80%.
