The size of wire depends on the amount of current it has to take. The size of the wire is measured by its cross-section area, and also in wire gauges.
A useful limit for wires that are used occasionally in the house is 10 amps per square millimetre of cross-section (of one of the wires). For continuous loads the rating is less, 2-3 amps per sq. mm.

What size wire is required for 277 volt fluorescent lighting?
Wire size is governed by amperage not voltage. Voltage is an insulation factor when talking about wire. Add up the amperage of fixtures you want in the circuit. Once that is found then the size of the wire can be calculated.
