Your supply is 220-240. Assuming it's 220v
Then your amperes should be 13?

You have to look at total wattage of your tubes. Take into consideration the power factor

I just calculated. Total power required for the all the lights mentioned should be 206 W.

So you think one circuit can take it?

Anyway, not too sure how to use your calculator. My condo is using 3 phase electricity. So should be 220-240V and 13A; but what kind of power factor should I input.

Led will have 0.90 pf.
But to be safe u can use 0.7pf

I see. Thanks bro. It said 3,467W. Does that means my whole house can support only 3,467W (i.e. 3 inverter aircond running at the same time), or does that means one circuit can support up to 3,467W.

How should I relate this to the total power consumption of the concealed lighting of ~200W?

Thanks in advance bro.

Light circuit is not same as plug point circuit, it usually share with multiple light point into one circuit. It all depending how many light connected/shared to one circuit, usually is sufficientm unless you have some big azz halogen.

Older property wiring usually use one circuit for entire link house, about ~2000watt in total,  modern house provide 2 or 3 circuits.

Mine is a new condo. Le yuan residence. So if 2-3 circuits, means it is 4600/3?

How many watt each circuit can take depending on the amp of mcb,  and wire thickness.

I see. so there is no way i can for sure then. have to do trial and error. install in the led and see if it can work and last. Haha.

Thanks for the info bro
