How do I determine the maximum number of lighting fixtures I can wire
from one light switch? I'm thinking of 12 recessed light fixtures (on a
dimmer switch for the main room of the basement). But is 14 AWG
sufficient? or should I use 12 AWG from the switch to each?

its just lights. I cant see you needing more than 14. Anyway, if 14 is
not enough youll just get lower voltage, which will work to extend the
life of the bulbs anyway...
