This is arguably silly, with incandescents banned and all lighting going to LED. But you should not assume you can put them on the circuit without calling your local authority and confirming that they allow this (very reasonable) configuration. | |

This way, popping the GFCI will not cut the lights. This is assuming that the light does not seen GFCI protection. If it does, add a blank-front GFCI. | |
