The answer depends on the wattage available and the ratings of the fixtures. Wattage is measured as amperage times voltage. Standard American voltage is 120 volts, and since 14-gauge wire can handle 15 amps, in this case 15x120=1,800 watts. Therefore, any combination of fixtures totaling to 1,800 watts or less can be on the wire--for example, 17 to18 rated at 100 watts each.
