Yes : but in a residential case a 15 amp circuit would be better
As long as the light circuit isn't over 20 amps.
Yes, as long as you use #12 copper conductors as feeders.
There are 1,000 miliamps in 1 amp. As the NEC limits you to loading a lighting circuit to no more than 80% you can have 16 amps or 16,000 miliamps on that circuit. That would mean you can have 2,000 lamps of 8 miliamps each.
Yes I have one that runs on a 30 amp circuit.
If you have 100 amp wire, you can use it for a 60 amp circuit, or for any circuit of 100 amps or less. But if you have a 60 amp circuit, 60 amp wire is thinner and cheaper than 100 amp wire.
120 amps The above answer is wrong. A 60 amp breaker is designed to trip at 60 amps be it a single pole, double pole or a triple pole that is used on three phase equipment. The number on the handle of a breaker is the trip capacity.
Yes, if properly wired a 20 amp circuit is a great circuit for an 18 amp appliance. Properly wired means you've used 12 gauge wire or larger and the circuit is protected by a 20 amp breaker or fuse and all connections are secure.

it might be the tubes, or it might be the wiring. if it is and expensive amp, go get it checked out, just to be safe, and if it is an inexpensive amp, buy a new one because it will probably be cheaper
At 120 volts a 15 amp circuit wired with #14 wire used for a dedicated light circuit do not install any more than 1400 total watts in lighting. If used for an dedicated outlet circuit do not install more than 8 outlets.

It depends on what the amperage of the connected load is. If it above 10 amps on a 15 amp breaker then make is a dedicated circuit. If it is used for lamps in the center of a room, then the floor outlet can be incorporated into the regular lighting and receptacle circuit.
Not a problem. The higher voltage rating of the interrupter just says it is safe and has been tested at that voltage.

It's basically a system of circuits. The power from the mains enters through the input terminals. It's then split into various load circuits (5 amp for lighting, 13 amp for sockets , 15 amp for the immersion heater & 30 amp for cookers). Each of these circuits has it's own circuit breaker, which cuts the power to that particular circuit if the current draw exceeds the rating of the breaker.
You can plug in as many as you want but none of them will work. An "open" circuit is an electrical circuit which is not a complete circuit and therefore electricity will not flow through it. If you mean an unused circuit,which has no load on it, then the answer is 2 ea. 5 amp devices on a 15 amp circuit and 3 ea. 5 amp devices on a 20 amp circuit. The reason for this is that any circuit is not to be "loaded" more than 80% of the OCPD (circuit breaker amperage rating.
1000w/230v= aprox 5A
