My understanding is that you can't put 14 gauge romex on any part of a line served by 20A breaker. The idea being 14AWG needs to be protected with 15A breaker since the expectation is that it can be carrying 15A continuously. Lamp whips, on the other hand, are premitted to be smaller, like 16AWG...

I have to use 12 gauge romex because breaker is 20A. Downsizing romex is not allowed, but smaller gauge lamp/fixture whips apparently are ok, just something else to purchase.

I'm trying to decide between running 12AWG Romex to the LED panel box (and having to support the cable with staples), or running a flexible lighting whip with 16AWG THHN (another $30 per lamp) from the electrical box near the lamp, but no strict requirements for supporting the whip other than...

This link (I though it was from earlier in the thread, apparently not): It looks like they are bringing AC in on a 18AWG from somewhere outside. I am attempting to install this light and am faced with bringing 12AWG into that small box though clamp in knockout, and wire nutting it to that...

What I meant was how is 120V getting into the light? The video seems to show it routed from external small round cable.

How did you wire in the AC? The video shows wire nutting the internal 16AWG with a round white cable with similar size wire. Is this low voltage coming from another box?
