Is there an amperage or wattage rating on the lights? If so, what info do you have? How many lights?
I do not understand your question. As long as the smallest piece of wire in the circuit can handle the current drawn by the lamps you will be fine.

Total light draw, 2 lamps, 10-15 amps, as long as your wiring is rated at that or above you're OK.

You can always go bigger gauge (fatter copper/conductor).
