I'm in the process of adding a light fixture and an outlet to a finished area of the basement. I would like to tap into the power on a 20amp circuit that is nearby. There are two outlets conected to the 20 amp circuit and the only thing that currently runs on the circuit is a freezer.
My question, is it safe to connect the wires from a light fixture to the 12-2 wires needed for the 20 amp service?
