Bubbling Transformer! WTF?!

Question
I'am setting up a new place. It has a 10 KVA transformer & 150 amp main breaker was wondering if I can run 16 1000 watt lights on a flip box so totaling 32 lights on off. With 5 tons ac for each room for a total of 10 tons of air. I will be running digital ballast on 240V

A single-phase 10 KVA transformer with a power factor of 1 is good for 10,000 watts at full load (41.5 amps @ 240v, 83 amps @ 120v). It goes downhill from there as the power factor drops.
