What is the maximum number of 60-W light bulbs you can connect in parallel in a 120-V home circuit without tripping the 30-A circuit breaker?

If your not interested in safety or wiring codes use the formula. E x I = Va(Watts without knowing Power Factor.) E is your voltage at the source (Breaker) 110v, 115v, 117v. I is 15amp the breaker is rated for.

X is your number of bulbs.

example. 110 x 15 = 60X : 60x = 1650 : 1650/60 = X Please do not attempt doing this hookup. % If your not interested in safety or wiring codes use the formula.
