14-2 is rated for 15 Amp circuit. You can design a 15 Amp circuit to carry about 1440 Watts. The average outlet uses about 180 Watts and your pull chain is 60 Watts. You should have plenty of room on this circuit.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,

on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,

always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB

SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY

REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
