Power (or watts) is a fuction of voltage and current. Therefore a standard recepticle would be wired to a 15 Amp fuse or breaker. If you house voltage is 110 Volts then Power = 110 Volts X 15 Amps = 1650 Watts max. So 1650 / 250 = 6 250 Watt lamps.

Is that OK for ya?

Just make sure all of your lights have a proper ground and that if you are using any extesion cords make sure they have a ground too. Then if you overload the circuit you'll just blow a fuse and avoid burning down your house.
