The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
A well stocked metal work shop should have a wire guage as should your local hardware store
16-gauge wire has a diameter of 0.05082 inches.
The gauge of wire that is 12 volt is 18, 14, and 16.

A thickness of wire or metal.
The lower the gauge the heavier, sheet metal, wire & shotguns...
The thickness of metal wire is inversely proportional to the guage number of the metal wire. So 28 guage metal wire is thicker than 30 guage metal wire.
12 gauge is thicker than 20 gauge. The lower the gauge, the thicker the sheet metal or wire.
It was a system used to specify the thickness or diameter of metal wire. It was improved and renamed British Standard Wire Gauge in 1883, usually abbreviated to SWG.
It depends on whether you are referring to sheet metal, wire or a shotgun. For sheet metal, 20 gauge is a thickness of 0.0359 inches (steel), 0.0396 inches (galvanized steel) or 0.0320 (aluminum). In American Wire Gauge (AWG), a 20 gauge wire is 0.032 inches (0.813mm) in diameter. A 20-gauge shotgun is a caliber of 0.615 inches (15.621mm).
A 9-gauge wire typically has a diameter of about 0.114 inches or 2.906 millimeters.

Metal, wire, needles, shotgun bore? What kind of "gauge?" How many kittens in a rainbow?
Yes.
In the context of wire or sheet metal, gauge refers to the thickness of the material. The higher the gauge number, the thinner the material. The relationship between gauge and mm varies depending on the standard being used, as different countries have different gauge systems. For example, in the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system, a lower gauge number corresponds to a thicker wire, while in the Standard Wire Gauge (SWG) system, higher gauges correspond to thicker wires.
The question isn't what you're powering with a particular gauge of wire, but what's the current draw. If the metal halide light can run on a 15 Amp breaker (from the breaker panel), fine use your metal halide in your residential application and run it on the 14 gauge wire.
