These are new circuits:

• bath outlets - GFCI (existing, GFCI outlet in adjacent 2nd bathroom)
• As long as it is receptacles only in baths, existing is OK
• bath lighting - ? AFCI

These are new circuits:

• spa tub pump - ? GFCI
• spa tub heater - ? GFCI
• bedroom/closet outlets - ? AFCI
• bedroom/closet lighting - ? AFCI

The bath lighting cab be combined with the bedroom/closet lighting to save AFCI breakers.

Lighting (ceiling cans, wall light at vanity) has to be on AFCI breaker? From some further reading, I interpeted only bedroom outlets needed to be on AFCI breaker?

What code cycle are you on? And does the state have any ammendments pertaining to AFCI's?
