A #10 copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps. A 40 amp circuit would need a #8 wire. To do a voltage drop calculation for a distance of 65 feet, a voltage of the circuit must be stated. Depending on the answer obtained from the calculation you might have to jump up one more size to #6.

What gauge wire do you need to run a 30 amp circuit 100 feet?
8 ga
What number wire gauge for a single pole light switch?
In residential wiring applications the most used is 14 gauge wire for light switches as long as the circuit breaker or the fuse is 15A. If your lighting circuit is on a 20A fuse/circuit breaker then you need to use 12 gauge wire
Can you run 8 gauge thhn wire for 30a circuit?
yes
14 gauge wire can be on what size circuit breaker?
15 amps
Can you connect 14 gauge wire to 12 gauge wire on a 20 amp breaker if the 14 gauge is the end of the run and dedicated to lights?
yesAnother (corrected) answer.NO! The circuit breaker is there to protect the wiring from overheating. It wouldn't matter where on the circuit you decided to put the 14 gauge wire, you would need to change the breaker to 15 Amp if you did that. Using 14 gauge wire on a 20 amp circuit is a fire hazard and contrary to UBC. Contact your local building and zoning department to verify.
