Still working though. Just put up the first can light trim. It’s an easy one but you gotta start somewhere. I got 29 gimbal ones on the vaulted ceilings i’m getting warmed up for. Somewhere around 55 of them total. Just in the house! Shit loads on the exterior lids too

Nope. Only the gfi/af

nope. Only the afci/gfci combined ones.
I like gfi protecting the circuits they need to. Where you can trip the outlet within the room the gfi tripped. Those circuits also need arc fault protection per 2019 code. You really don’t want them both on a combo breaker. You can, but i’d rather not. Plus ALL the other circuits that do not need gfci protection.
they now make arc fault trippin outlets, like your regular old gfi outlets that you can put in on the first outlet of a circuit but no thanks.

@raratt to make it more fucked up.
Eaton/cutler hammer type panels that take BR breakers they have two different types now. A plug on type which is newer. The neutral is also brought down in between the buss bar and where the breakers clip in. Those BRP afci breakers click on to that extra neutral bar, simplifying the wiring in the panel. You don’t need to run the hot and the neutral to the breaker AND and the white curly wire off the breaker to the neutral bar like the “older” ones

those breakers are fucking impossible to source right now. You can still use the other ones on the newer eaton panels though. I’m still trying to score those older ones. Fucking covid.

When i was up in paradise i could drive right down to Chico and figure shit out between the two plus we had a killer ACE hardware up there. The town i live in now only has a HD and a smaller ACE hardware. So i gotta drive to either chico or another town to catch em both and get, usually, everything i need.

Thats a good price too. I just paid 50 per. And thats with elec distributer shops rape you
@raratt combo means just that the afci protects in 4-5 different ways. Not to be confused with the ones that do both dual functions afci and gfci
