We are installing a circuit for some floresent lights in a wharehouse. The 12ga wire is run in conduit with a 20 amp breaker and at every light there will be a j box to wire into. The other guy is trying to tell me he wants to use 14ga mc from the j box to the light and tie it to the 12ga and the breaker won't have to be changed to a 15amp breaker because the whip is under 6feet from connection point to light. He claims its in the NEC allowing this. I don't know why he wants a 14ga wire here but I'm not thinking this is in the Nec. Is it or not

Didn't you post the same query in the NEC forum under "circuit for fluorescent lights" just a little while ago?
