15 amp circuit
can I run two Chamberlain LW3500EV (1/2 hp. belt drive) garage door openers and seven lights on the same 15 amp circuit?

Outlets in a garage by code need to be 20 amp. 12-2 GFI protected.
Is there a subpanel in the garage?

The GFCI requirement can complicate things. Most codes now require it to be readily accessible so ceiling GFCI receptacle no longer works. Need to use panel GFCI breaker or wire a wall receptacle (can use dead front) before the opener.

Kind of jumping the gun on the GFCI and 20A circuit requirement. The OP didn't say anything about installing a new circuit for the openers. He might just be asking about using an existing 15A circuit.
