Default Wiring up switch w/pilot light.

Wiring up switch w/pilot light...

When wiring up a switch that requires another wire back from the load to attach to the switch to power the pilot-light (illuminated when ON).
Do I have to use #14 wire ? Or can I use something smaller like #20 bell wire as long as the jacket is rated at 600v ?

Any help is appreciated.

The fuse or circuit breaker determines wire size, not the load. If a
typical 15A circuit you need 14 ga.
