Why power circuits and lighting circuits require a separate circuit breaker?

Utility outlets and lighting outlets should be separate so that when a utilization device plugged into an outlet trips the breaker or blows the fuse, you won't be left trying to find your way to safety in the dark. Light fixtures are much less likely to trip a breaker in ordinary use, but there are places you also want more than one lighting circuit for illumination.

When installing a circuit breaker do you size the breaker to correct wire size or the device its controlling?

When installing a circuit breaker, you size the breaker based on the wire size. The breaker should be matched to the ampacity of the wire to ensure proper protection against overloads and short circuits. The device being controlled by the breaker is not a determining factor in sizing the breaker.

You may need to consult with an electrician to ensure that your breaker can handle the load of all six fixtures running simultaneously. Upgrading to a higher amperage breaker or adding additional circuits may be necessary to safely run all six fixtures at once. Alternatively, you could stagger the timing of the fixtures so that they are not all drawing power simultaneously.

Can you put two fixture on a single pole 15 amp breaker?

Yes, as long as your fixtures don't require more than 1650-watts in an 110-volt supply.ACTUALLY:You should never exceed 80% of the capacity of a breaker. If you actually used the 1650 Watts the breaker would trip because it would have reached the maximum capacity. Make certain that the maximum current draw on any circuit does not exceed that 80% limit.
