It may be a lot easier to put a 15 a breaker on that circuit. If 15 will
carry the other things on that circuit, then you are done.

I added a light fixture to an existing 20A 12awg circuit, and didn't
realize I used 14awg romex until I was done. The new fixture wouldn't
overload even a 15A circuit, so a) are you gonna tell me I have to fix my
error and put in the larger cable, and b) why is that? Thanks
