When retrofitting fluorescent 4' or 8' fixtures with LED by bypassing the ballast, is there a problem with using such small gauge existing fixture wires now being on a 20 amp circuit ? Maybe 4' length small gauge wires. Thank you

I cannot find the link, but there is something from Leviton not to apply line voltage to their tombstone lampholders when swapping over to ballast bypass LED's. The load on the fixture wires is minimal so doubt there is a issue.
