In the case of wiring a bathroom, where a 20A 12/2 circuit runs from the electrical panel to the GFCI.
What is the best practice?
1-To wire the lights and fan off the PROTECTED side of GFCI receptacle using 12/2 (if lights above shower, this could make sense).
2-To wire the lights and fan off the UNPROTECED side of GFCI receptacle using 12/2.
3-To wire the lights and fan from a different circuit (15A) using 14/2.
