If that is a 1.5 sq. mm. cable all laid out in the open and not rolled up it can supply 15 amps, or 3600 watts if the system is 240 volts. Just add up the watts of the bulbs and the total must be less than 3600.

How many flood lights on a 15 amp breaker?
It depends on the wattage of each bulb. Typically you only want to load your circuit to 80% of its rated capacity. Hence a 15 A circuit would be .8 x 15 Amps. Now if you had all 60 Watt bulbs and the supply voltage as 120 V then you could support 24 such bulbs. The key formulas are Voltage = Current x Resistance and Watts = Voltage x Current in your lighting example. However, if the lighting fixtures are rated for a higher value and you just choose to use 60 watts, you should size to the rated capacity of the fixtures on the circuit since someone else may later put in the maximum rated bulb.
What size romex for wiring 6 can lights on 15 amp circuit?
You should use 14 AWG wiring on all 15 amp circuits.
How many recessed lights can you put on a 20 Amp circuit breaker?
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.
How many lights can you put on a circuit with a ceiling fan?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.Remember you can now use Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs), which take only 1/5 of the power of conventional light bulbs, without having to rewire your light fittings...See the related question and answer about CFLs.If you are following the NEC code (most popular in the USA) 14 guage wiring for general purpose lighting can not be protected at 20 amps. 15 amps is the maximum.Designing for constant loading, a 15 amp circuit would allow for a total of 1440 volt-amperes (roughly equal to wattage)The amount of fixtures that can be connected to this circuit depends on the MAXIMUM wattage rating of each fixture. For example, if the fixtures you are using are rated max 150 watts (even though you are only putting in 75 watt lamps for now) you must perform the calculation based on 1440 divided by 150 which is 9.6, or 9 fixtures.If the maximum rating of the fixtures is 75 watts, then the answer would be 1440 divided by 75 = 19.2, or 19 fixtures.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

When is a lighting contactor required?
A lighting contactor is a special contactor that is used only for control lighting installations. The contact ratings are incandescent rating and not to be used for motor control. The contactor allows banks of lights to be controlled by one device. The controlling devices could be switches, computers or photocells to bring the lights on at any preset times. <<>> A Contactor used to supply the Power to the lights
