Wiring my basement. *I've got 20 amp circuits using 12/2 wire. *The rough wiring passed the town's inspection. *I need to wire two troffer lights.. Due to their location, I need to use the armor cable to wire the lights to a junction box. * Since I don't have the tools for the armor cable, I found a 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 light fixture. 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 |
