For safety a circuit should not be operated at over 80 percent of capacity. In this case that would be 12 amps. At 120 vac that would allow about 1450 watts. So although a 15 amp breaker could theoretically power 18 100 watt lamps, in practice you should limit the number to 14 or fewer. I would personally not exceed 12.

How many amps do light bulbs draw?

Depend on watt and voltage use of light bulbs. You can use this ohm's law formular to calculate the current draw on light bulbs. I (current in amp) = P (watt)/ E (voltage) If 25W light bulb use in 115V AC (resident home) then current draw will be: 25/115 = 0.22A or 22 miliamperes. Hope this help.
