[Public-List] Wire gauge for mast lights

I need to rewire my mast lighting. I have an anchor and windex light at the
top and a steaming/deck combo at the spreaders. All are LED and each draws
less than 0.5 amps. Seems that 16 gauge wire should be sufficient to keep
me under 3% drop, even when overestimating the length of the longest run.
Does that sound right?
