I will probably start running wires soon (after I figure out my power panel) so I am trying to figure this out.
I know that this is nothing official but I was using this as a guide:

Just use a smaller fuse (like a 10A) to match the wire and you're fine. But I'm with Mike, its easier to use #12 throughout. Remeber that LEDS are very sensitive to voltage drop, you wont every have any issues with a bigger wire.
