Should be fine if that is all that is on the breaker.
Yes. I am assuming this is a residential question. A better answer is...if the 8 recessed lights draw fewer than 16 amps together, it is good.
count your total amount of watts you are going to use (ie 7 bulbs 75 watts =525watt) watts divided by voltage 525 divided by 120vac = 4.375 amps, you can only load a circuit to 80% 15 amp breaker @ 80%=12 amps, you cannot exceed this by the electrical code.make sure you know what other loads are on the circuit unless this is a separate circuit. hope this helps..
Yes. In the US at least.
A 55 watt fluorescent light only pulls 0.4 amps. Lights can be installed on a 15 amp breaker using 14/2 wire. A maximum of 1440 watts is all that is allowed on a 15 amp circuit.
Yes, it can.
If there is nothing else on the circuit then you could easily install 15. If there are outlets on the same circuit then try and keep the total of outlets and lights to a maximum of 15. But in reality the number of devices depends on how many amps each device pulls. Add up the amperage of the recessed lights you are going to install and then add any outlets and what may be plugged into them to get the number you can install. A 100 watt light bulb will draw about 1 amp. So you can easily have 15 on a 20 amp circuit.
14 gauge will handle it with a 15 amp breaker. If you use 12 gauge use a 20 amp breaker.
You can't.
Question makes no sense, but anyone would probably need to know the rating (watts) of the lights to give an answer.
#12/2wground & a 20 amp breaker should be enough for lights,receptales.
Watts = Amps x Volts. 60 x 240 = 14400
The equation that you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts / Volts.
