As with everything, it depends. The newer fixtures (T8?) with 4 ft. bulbs are more efficient than the older fixtures with 8 ft bulbs. As John said, just figure out how much each fixture needs, round up and divide into 1800. If you figure 200 watts per fixture, then you should be able to put up to 8 fixtures on a 15 amp circuit and have room to spare.

My shop has six of the new style fixtures on a 15 amp circuit.

I suggest that you do not put all your lights on one breaker; that way if you blow a breaker you won't be in the dark.
