I will be putting in a lot of can incandescent lights into my basement.
Are there any dimmer switches available that I can use that can handle
more that 600W total? I would like to get more than 8 lights per
switch. What's out there?

Thanks,

Do you really need "dimmable" lighting ?
How about selected groups on separate switches.

and

While you're at it, DO consider compact flourescant bulbs.
( 25 watts = 100 watts worth of light output )

The GE brand sold at WalMart give excellent results.
