If you put a 1500 watt heater of any type on one of those circuits, it should be the only thing on that circuit. Obviously a few 8 or 11 watt LED bulbs won't make a difference but you shouldn't have other items on the circuit.

Sorry. I didn't see this earlier.
You make an important point. Especially since some rooms would only have a single circuit dedicated to them, so no other appliance would be able to used without risking overload on the higher power models.
