Default How many relays can one switch trigger?

I have a couple plasmaglow switches in my JK which came prewired with 22 gauge leads. Is it possible to attach the load wire to 2 or 3 relays to trigger multiple sets of lights with one switch. If so is there a maximum number of relays a switch can handle?

I think most relays take 0.1 or 0.2 amps to trigger. Your switch can probably handle 5 amps. is there a limit? yes, always. will you reach it? probably not. certainly not pushing 2-3 relays. your good.
