How many amps does a chandelier use?

How many 100 watt lights per breaker?
I would use no more 14 100watt bulbs on a 15 amp circuit or 19 bulbs on a 20 amp circuit. You can calculate this by taking 80% of circuit amperage I.E 12 amps or 16 amps and then multiply by circuit voltage(120) to get 1440 watts and 1920 watts. Then take these values divided by bulb wattage(100 watts) to get 14.4 bulbs and 19.2 bulbs. Then round down for partial bulbs to get 14 bulbs and 19 bulbs.

Why would you hear an electrical hum at the breaker when turning on three-way dimmers with 6-8 recessed lights each?
coud be a couple of things. dimmers are rated by wattage, ie: if you have 3- 100 watt light bulbs on a dimmer the total load is 300 watts. most dimmers are rated at 600 watts, if you have a larger wattage load on the dimmer it will hum and perhaps over load the breaker. hope this helps!
