You can safely connect up to 10 70-watt lights on a 15 amp circuit. Each 70-watt light draws 0.58 amps, so you would not exceed the circuit's 15 amp capacity with 10 lights.

How many 60 watt bulbs can a 15 amp handle?

A 15 amp circuit can handle approximately 8-10 60 watt bulbs. Each 60 watt bulb draws 0.5 amps of current, so you divide the circuit's amp rating (15 amps) by the current draw per bulb (0.5 amps) to get the approximate number of bulbs it can handle.
