Might as well as use 12 guage and wire it that way.
I would be more interested in maxing out the rated limits in
the switches. They do make more higher end stuff that can
handle more continueous power.

I may be mis remembering, but isn't there in the NEC a limit on the

Isn't 18 devces / fixtures too many?

Good catch. Yes, any equipment fastened in place can't exceed 50% of
the circuit rating (NEC 210.23). If the fixtures are rated for 100
watts, he could only put 9 on a 15 amp circuit.
