We're installing recessed lights in our basement... We are putting 10 lights in the main room... 6 ft apart. 2 lights will be on a switch, 4 on another, and the last 4 on a switch. Is it okay to run power for all 10 lights on a single 15amp breaker?

You may run no more than 1440 watts on a 15 amp circuit dedicated for lighting.

You should be Ok but must add up the wattage for your bulbs and not go over TK's recommendation
