I'm wiring up a basement and I've run into a few questions.

I want to run 16 recessed lights on a 15a circuit: the lamps are rated for 75w. This gives about a 10a load, am I correct in that I use the lamps rating to figure out the circuit load?

Also do I need to use 180va for all my recepticals, seems like 8 per branch is kinda light?
