To answer this question the circuits voltage must be stated. Find the total wattage of the lights, use the following formula. I = W/E, where W is the total wattage and E is the circuit's voltage.
Yes.
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.
No. A 20 amp breaker needs 12 gauge wire.
No, 10 gauge wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker. A 20 amp breaker is only used on 12 gauge wire.
A domestic D/W uses 14 gauge wire.
Use AWG # 6 wire.
Yes. In the US at least.
In residential wiring applications the most used is 14 gauge wire for light switches as long as the circuit breaker or the fuse is 15A. If your lighting circuit is on a 20A fuse/circuit breaker then you need to use 12 gauge wire

You need a 60 amp breaker.
No. A 20 amp breaker needs 12 gauge wire.
