you would need to know the wattage of each lamp. multiply the lamp wattage x 5 = total watts divide the total wattage / 230 volts (or the voltage you will connect to)= amps example: 250 watts x 5= 1250 watts 1250 watts / 230 volts = 5.43 amps

Why would the breaker kick off when adding a run of lights with a switch at the end of the lights?
I really need more detailed information to answer your question. How many lights were added and what wattage bulbs are being used? For a 15-amp breaker, the maximum wattage it would handle would be around 1650 watts. This would be about 16 100-watt bulbs. Does your breaker trip immediately when you turn the light switch on? If you have an ohmmeter you can check the tripped breaker. Put one lead on the black "hot" wire coming from the breaker. Remember, the breaker must be off. Then put the other lead on the ground bar. If the ohm reading is very low, close to 2 ohms, then you have a direct short to ground somewhere in your wiring.
