I'm adding an addition to my house and also upgrading my panel. If I understand correctly, my new outside outlets need to be on their own GFCI breaker. I'm wondering if this includes outdoor lighting.
I'm updating my 60A panel (circa 1950s) to a 200A one. I'll do all my new wiring to code and update as much of the old stuff as I can (proper AFCI and GFCI breakers, etc.) but there are some existing circuits where outdoor lights, specifically the front porch and outside of the kitchen window, are connected to double switch boxes with the other switch controlling inside lighting. To be truly up to code, do these outdoor lights need to be wired into the outdoor circuit? Thanks in advance.
