What about distance of 14 gauge wire?
It depends on the load applied. With a load of 10 amps you would loose 5 volts at 100 feet. I would not run it over 50'. This is one of the reasons I never wire any home with AWG#14 wire even though you can use it in bedrooms. I prefer to use AWG #12.
What is the wire size required for 1800 watts for lamps?
14 gauge will handle it with a 15 amp breaker. If you use 12 gauge use a 20 amp breaker.
