I have a single 20 amp basement outlet with a 20 amp breaker and #12 wire with ground. Can I tap into that outlet as a source of power for 8 recessed lights in that room? Can I use #14 wire to the lights from the outlet? Should I power to the light switch first from the outlet? Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.
Can #14 wire be used on a 20 amp home circuit if it is to be used only for lighting in a single room.
