Wiring my basement. *I've got 20 amp circuits using 12/2 wire. *The rough

pre-wired 6 ft whip at HD. *The wire in the whip is 14/2.
Questions: Can I use this whip to connect the light to the 20 amp circuit at
a junction box? *Are there such things as 20 amp light fixtures? *I had to
use 20 amp plugs and switches, but I've never seen such a thing as a 20 amp

Thank you for your time.
I agree with the other posters who say that the tools required are
very basic. You should expect to need some tools when doing your own
wiring. But that being said, if you want to use the whips, you can
replace the wire in them. Just attach your 12/2 wire to the wire in
the whip (e.g., by twisting them together) and pull through. --H
