20amp receps and coming off for general bedroom lighting? Doing a house and this guy is going all out, have general receps w/ 12awg / 20amp.

And smoke detectors, those will be in the bedrooms too... so hit them off the 20 amp ARC fault? Thanks

my halogen light (connected to main lighting circuit) has stopped working.what could it be? basically, the light stopped working for no reason. one minute it was on, the next the whole thing just switched off and won't come back on again. i have checked the bulbs (it has 4 of them) and they are fine. it is connected to the main lighting circuit, and the rest of the lights on the circuit work perfectly. i wondered if anyone here had any ideas on how to help sort this out, as its a bit of a pain not having a main bedroom light!!

Bedroom window curtain advice? My basement family room has short grommet curtains, my living room and dining room have grommet curtain panels with rod-pocket sheers behind them, and my bathroom has a lace valance with rod-pocket sheers behind it. What curtains should I put in my bedroom? I want panels for sure with white rod-pocket sheers behind them. Should I get grommet or rod-pocket panels? The panels are a light goldish/cream color, 84" length, the curtain rods are blackish. I found grommet curtains that have dark metal grommets to match the rod and they also come in rod-pocket style. Here are the curtain rods: http://www.sears.ca/gp/product/B000FRRA6K/sr=1-16/qid=1193327448/ref=sr_1_16/102-3056305-6862534?ie=UTF8&searsBrand=core&mqnodeid=322289011 The bedspread is elegant, jaquard print (golds/greens/plums in it), light fixture/lamps are elegant with blackish tinge to them, cottagey cream-colored bedroom set, light colored hardwood floors (maple or birch?).
