To answer this question the total wattage of the fixture is needed. To find this you need to find out the wattage of one bulb. If all of the bulbs are the same multiply the wattage of the bulb times 19. Use this total wattage in the following equation. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts. In North America a #14 conductor is rated at 15 amps but has to be de-rated for a continuous load. This allows the conductor to carry 12 amps legally.
A #12 conductor is rated at 20 amps but has to be de-rated for a continuous load. This allows the conductor to carry 16 amps legally.
A #10 conductor is rated at 30 amps but has to be de-rated for a continuous load. This allows the conductor to carry 24 amps legally.
Hopefully the chandelier falls within this amperage range

What size wire needed to power 100 watt bulb?
In a floor lamp or table lamp a #16 wire is what you need.
What gauge wire is needed to supply a 220v 50' 30amp service?
10 AWG.
Is 8 gauge weld wire fencing stronger than 10 gauge wire?
Wire gauges are defined in such a way that the lower the gauge, the thicker the wire. So, 8 gauge wire is thicker than 10 gauge wire.
Can you splice a small length of 16 gauge wire to 18 gauge wire for a repair?
Yes, you splice a small length of 16 gauge wire to 18 gauge wire for a repair.
Which awg wire gauge indicates the smallest wire diameter?
The larger the wire gauge, the smaller the diameter. 12 gauge is bigger than 14 gauge.
Why fuel gauge and temperature gauge don't light up?
possible fuse or bulb in dash. or worse a loose wire/rat bit a wire.
What gauge of wire is needed to carry 200 amps?
3/0 gauge
What gage wire is needed for a 35 amp ac?
Use 8 gauge wire.
What is the use of wire gauge?
Wire gauge is used to determine the size wire needed to carry the correct amount of current for the job. It must be sized appropriately for the current in the circuit you are building.

4 gauge
What gauge needed for 20A?
The guage of wire for 20 amps is #12 copper.
What gauge wire is needed for a 220 50 amp circuit?
AWG #6
What gauge aluminum wire is needed for 100 amp load?
2 AWG.
What size wire needed to power 100 watt bulb?
