    Safely you could use 25, 60 watt bulbs. At one time

      For 15 amps:

      Lets suppose that all your lights are 60W:

      120Volts * 15Amps = 1800 Watts;
      so from there a regular 15 amps circuits has 1800W to spare therefore:

      1800/60 = 30 lights at 60 W each, or 1800/100= 18 lights at 100 Watts.
