Ok, so I have a 20A, 240W 50" LED light bar with a 14 gauge cable that I plan to connect to the 30A fuse. The 30A fuse uses a 16 gauge cable. I also have 2, 5A, 60W LED ditch lights also with a 14 gauge cable that i'm going to connect to a 20 gauge cable with a 10A fuse. Do you think these should be compatible? I know i'm covered as far as amperage is concerned. Just wondering about the difference in cable gauge. Any input is extremely helpful,

Thanks in advance!

I am not an electrician and I am sure someone will point out that I am wrong, but I wired pods and fogs to mismatched wire gauges. Pretty sure it isn't an issue with such low amperage.
