600 watts
The ampacity of an 8 gauge wire at 240 volts would depend on the specific type of wire and the installation conditions. Generally, an 8 gauge wire can safely carry around 40-50 amps of current. It is important to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations for precise guidance.
The ampacity or amp rating of all wire is rated by the size of the wire. NM (non-metallic sheathing) wire is no different. In household wiring 14 gauge wire must go on a 15 amp breaker/ 12 gauge goes on a 20 A and 10 gauge goes on a 30 Amp.
If your light bulb voltage rating is under 300 volts then yes it can use 300 volt wire. The voltage rating of the wire is the maximum voltage that the wire can safely carry. The three common insulation groups is 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts.

Number 6 gauge wire typically has an ampacity rating of around 55-75 amps and a voltage rating of 600 volts. These ratings may vary depending on the specific type of wire and the regulations in your area. It is important to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or a qualified electrician for accurate information.
30 amps.

The maximum current rating for a 20A wire gauge is 20 amperes.
The amp rating for 18 gauge wire is typically around 16 amps.
The amp rating for an 18 gauge wire is typically around 16 amps.
The ampacity rating for 18 gauge wire is typically around 16 amperes.
30 gauge
The larger in diameter the wire is, the larger the current carrying capacity the wire has.
A #8 wire with an insulation rating of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps.
The amp rating for 14 gauge wire is typically around 15 to 20 amps.
The amp rating for a 4 gauge wire is typically around 100-150 amps.
The amp rating for a 3 gauge wire is typically around 85-100 amps.
