Sorry been a very hectic day here so havent had much time doing major renovation on one of my websites lol
As to the question you had for voltage drop that wouldnt be a factor unless ur running some HEAVY equipment . of you have room you can install a 20a breaker depending on the panels for about $20 or less, 12/2 romex w ground 50 ft or the cheapiest way it to buy the 250 ft rool sounds like over kill for a simple stretch of 11 ft but trust me the difference in price atleast here is not alot for what ya have left for more projects lol.If you dont have any open breakers spaces you can buy a " piggy back" breaker this is a breaker that would replace a single breaker say like that 15a you have and put one that would have a 15/20 breaker in the same space they cost a little more but worth it if the security bothers ya . for actual device wiring you would be looking at about $10 for a box , device ,wall plate etc so even buying a big roll of wire you should still come in for around $75.00 or so depending on breaker used and have ample wire for other projects ... like the new outside snake building ... lol
