That't how i wired my shop.
I got 20 34 amp 4' fluorecents going trough 1 switch(cheapy at that)
Of course full current is going through the switch even if you switch the neutral. Just as much current flows back through the neutral as flows out of the hot. It's not wrong but the sockets are always hot even with the switch off. I prefer to switch the hot.
I would be putting my clamp meter (amp meter) around the hot lead coming out of the switch and see how many amps you are pulling, then disconnect each light until the current matches what you should have for the given amount of bulbs.
