It never fails to amaze me that the folks who build these things for a living will take an appliance rated at 1500 Btu's with lights and motors within and hook it up with another item on a 15 amp circuit.

separating that fireplace out or at least coupling it with low draw led lighting would solve a lot of these dilemmas.

I remember well the old days of those track lights over the kitchen of the 38's heating the wall switch up until you couldn't touch it and also smell it cooking inside the wall. How many of us reported that back to the factory for years before they addressed that little conundrum.

This fireplace issue has been mentioned to them for the better part of at least 8 years now.
