    Sorry, I was tired when I posted the last thread.

    I meant to say a light was being feed by a 12 gauge wire from a 14 gauge line with a 15 amp breaker. Is this OK?

    Should be, as long the total load isn't too high. I was wondering where somebody even found any 20 gauge to run to a light. Most phone or other #20 isn't even marked.
