Layout room lighting?

I figured out the wiring problem. I was sitting here trying to figure out how I would rewire two of the rooms outlets, when it dawned on me. I have a ceiling fan and light fixture that is currently powered by two separate wall mounted switches; one for the fan, one for the lights. I've seen people every day wire up ceiling fans and lights off one wall switch, using the pull chains on the fixture to control the fan and lights separately. Since it's already wired with two power feeds up through the ceiling, just hook up the fan and lights to run off one feed/one switch, replace the other switch with a dimmer, and use the second power feed to power the track lights. 12-14 50 watt lights, at 120v, is only about 5-6 amps, and I already have a 20 amp breaker on that rooms circuit, so that will work out great! <br /> <br />Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate all the responses! <br /> <br />Jeremy
