As long as it's 15a, 14/2 is still code. You don't need 12/2 on a 15a circuit it's complete overkill. I've seen homes wired with a 20a outlet on 14/2 which is not correct. Stuff like that is likely why fires happen.

So youre blaming the wires instead of the people who installed it?lol
These wires are approved per code meaning you can use it legally by which if you know where and how to install it hence by building code.

would it be safe to use this wire on outdoor patio light protected by a conduit tubing? I am going to splice it to install ring floodlight.

Same price as WalMart.dont use 14/2 for outlets wiring I have seen about 20 fires this year
Using 14/2
This is retarded, if paired with a 15A breaker it should pop before fire becomes an issue. Unless it's a federal Pacific panel, in which case the problem isn't the wire, is that they lied when certifying their equipment and a 20A will do the same thing. Also, don't overload your runs

Makes an average home owner Joe like me wonder if that means contractors will be charging premiums once costs go down and demand goes up.

Yeah, 14/2 is just for standard 15amp outlets. Any sort of fire is probably due to a fault within wiring sockets like jabbing them into the back lazily instead of tightening them to the screws or using 20amp outlets. A fire due to an actual product deficiency would be pretty rare here.

Working with 12/2 in outlets can definitely be a pain, but in a standard non-bathroom/kitchen/garage, you shouldn't be having that much of a draw anyway assuming you're not drying your hair, making waffles and running a miter saw in it all the time.
Its not about the outlets, its about the outlet circuit. Most outlet circuits are on a 20amp breaker so 12/2 wire is required. Most light circuits are on 15amp breakers so 14/2 wire is ok.

lol - 15a is overkill for 12/2 but 20a is a firestarter for 14/2. Ok - lol.

10/2 would be overkill for 15a but perfectly fine to wire in 12/2 to get beyond the bare minimum code recommends AND future proof the home.

12/2 is not overkill. It's just beyond the minimum standard for code. Overkill would be 10/2 or 8/2. Giving yourself a tiny bit of breathing room is NOT overkill.

Personally, I wouldn't buy 14/2 unless it's for lights and you know for 100% fact no one will ever try to pull down even close to 15amp on it. I don't feel like doing things to the bare minimum of code standards is what everyone should do.

The minimums for code is to keep the cheapest and laziest POS in check.
So is your home wired 12/2 everywhere? 15a breakers and outlets to prevent the dummy from potentially catching fire? I think common sense needs to start coming into play here

Working with 12/2 is really not that difficult as long as you don't keep too much slack in the box and strip most of the outer jacket from the wires in the box. 20A circuits require 12ga wire. It's about the breaker size. 14ga is fine for 15A circuits protected by a 15A breaker. Most current codes require kitchen outlet to be on 20A circuits (not necessarily 20A outlets) because countertop appliances can draw a lot of current and you may have several running at the same time (mixer, toaster, microwave, etc). I would run any new outlet circuit with 12ga wire. With the shift to LED lighting it should be fine to use 14ga wiring on 15A breakers for most lighting circuits. That will help in tight multigang boxes with lots of switches, esp if they are 3 or 4 ways with the associated extra wires.

Also, the back wiring provisions are fine to use if done properly. It WOULD be a product deficiency if they weren't safe. Key is to make sure the wire gauge is allowed for the connection, strip proper length, not nick the conductor in the process to create a weak point for breakage, and not wiggle the device around a ton when inserting into the electrical box.

Would depend on where the outlet is. If it's on the outside of a wall then it would be ok. If it runs through any damp area it would not be allowed. Also you would have to replace the outlet you are feeding off with a GFCI outlet to protect the outside circuit unless you are already on a GFCI circuit.

It is overkill. Typical #12 romex has THHN insulation and is rated for 30 A. #14 is rated for 25 A. It's just the NEC requires them to be on 20 A and 15 A breakers, respectively.

If you want to go to a thicker gauge wire (which really only makes sense on very long runs or if you bundle too many wires and have to derate the current capacity which you should avoid by running the wires more separated) you have to make sure your devices (receptacles, switches, etc) are rated to accept that gauge (most will only be rated for one gauge up from the minimum required). It will also make working in tight boxes very difficult and likely introduces more potential for poor installations.

Exactly, its unnecessary. Working with 12/2 isn't as easy as 14/2. So long as you are following correct NEC recommendations, no issues.
