Lighting fixture

[DeanMendoza]

Hi, I have a question regarding with conductor sizing in main feeder. (LIGHTS ON)

my panel compose only of lighting fixture (individual branches), we all know the standard awg size for lighting fixture is #14, my total load for the panel sums up to 7amps to 8amps, and I used a #14 awg conductor size for the main feeder base on NEC (320.16) #14 has a ampacity of 20amps. is it ok to used #14 as a main feeder wire or it should be upsize to #12, #10 or #8 awg?

thanks for the help guys.
