outdoor compact flourescents [RE-wrenches]

[Drake Chamberlin - Electrical Energy]

Thanks to all who responded to my question about outdoor compact 
fluorescent lighting.  We will spec them out for the sign bids.

One other question about this project:

The Code permits approved wire in sizes 2/0 and larger in battery 
boxes.  Since we are going to have a load of one 13 W CF light and ballast 
with a Trace C-12 charge control, we likely won't be needing 2/0 cable 
(ahem).

Is there any code rational for using a sane sized wire in such an 
application?
