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.
14 gauge will handle it with a 15 amp breaker. If you use 12 gauge use a 20 amp breaker.
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.
No. A 20 amp breaker needs 12 gauge wire.
Normally it is a 20 amp using AWG 12/2 gauge wire. But it really depends on what size wire is on that circuit. If it is white AWG 14 gauge then use a 15 amp breaker. If it is yellow AWG 12 gauge then use a 20 amp breaker.
No, 10 gauge wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker. A 20 amp breaker is only used on 12 gauge wire.
Yes. In the US at least.

No, it is not recommended to connect 13 gauge wire to a 20 amp breaker. The wire gauge should match the amp rating of the breaker to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. In this case, a 20 amp breaker should be used with at least 12 gauge wire.
It is not recommended to connect a 14 gauge wire to a 12 gauge wire on a 20 amp breaker, as this can create a safety hazard. It's important to match the wire gauge to the circuit breaker rating to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. It would be best to run a continuous 12 gauge wire for this circuit.
No, you should match the breaker size to the wire gauge. A 10-2 wire is typically rated for a 30 amp breaker. Using a 20 amp breaker on 10-2 wire could result in overheating and a potential fire hazard.
Mixing different gauge wires in the same circuit is not recommended as it can lead to electrical hazards. It is better to use the same gauge wire throughout the circuit to maintain consistency in the electrical load. If you're adding new lights and outlets, it's best to use the same gauge wire as the existing one.
The amps that a four gauge wire will handle will depend with the thickness of the wire. If the wire is thin, the four gauge will handle 95 amps.
No. A 20 amp breaker needs 12 gauge wire.
A 14 gauge wire is typically used on a 15 amp circuit breaker. It is not recommended to use a larger circuit breaker with a smaller wire size as this can create a fire hazard.
30 amp breaker with #10 gauge copper wire
The dash lights on an Explorer are used to light the warning symbols and to illuminate the speedometer, gas gauge, and RPM gauge. These lights are controlled by fuses.
