You probably blew the breaker for the lights. While usually the lights and outlets in a room are on the same breaker, it isn't always done that way. And you may have blown the light bulbs in the lights.

Plugging an electric heater into a GFI outlet caused the lights and other outlets to go out but didn't trip the circuit breaker why?
A GFCI receptacle can pass it's "protection" to other outlets wired from it. If the GFCI trips, all outlets wired from it will "trip" also. A GFCI tripping will not necessarily trip the circuit breaker in the service panel.
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.
Have 120 volts going to outlets and lights but yet the plugs and lights don't work?
Check with a reliable voltmeter on the wire into outlets. If no power then it's disconnected in a junction box somewhere.

Your lights and air quit working on your camper but the outlets still work has your inverter gone bad?
Not necessarily you should have a panel feed and a breaker may be tripped. If you have power in the outlet the converter is working.
Can you use 10 3 wire for outlets and lights in a home?
You could but is it a total waste of money and is overkill. Use 12/2 with ground on all 120 volt outlets and light switches.

What can cause head lights not to work no power to light?
head lights won't work, no power to them, signal works , reverse lights work
How many wall outlets can you have in a circuit using a A breaker?
Assuming this is not an office of a place where lots of the outlets will be used to power items that draw lots of current on a 15 amp circuit wired with 14/2 wire I would limit it to no more than 10 outlets and lights combined. On a 20 amp circuit wired with 12/2 wire I would limit it to a 14 outlets and lights combined. There is no limit in the code. You just use common sense based on what is going to be used on this circuit.
