What kind of wire should I use for lights and outlets?
In practice, most lighting circuits are controlled by a 15 amp circuit breaker, and therefore 14 gauge wire is acceptable. Circuits with power outlets are often controlled by 20 amp breakers and should be wired with 12 gauge wire. Always match the gauge of wire to the capacity of the circuit breaker. Show Comments.
