14 gauge wire is thinner then 12 gauge, the higher the number the thinner. It will be fine using it, but I wouldnt go any finner then 14 gauge.

ok thanks,

just read somewhere with search function that a thinner wire may lose current and increase heat, but shouldnt be noticable

sound about right?
