where do you think the cut off point is? 20 25 30 reps? when is a weight too light?

pick a rep limit...say 10.
pick a number of sets.....say 3
if you can perform the weight for 3 sets of 10 with good form. Then bump it up.

When you can lift it for more reps than you planned for...

Depends on what you are trying to do. I would say for bodybuilding purposes going much above 12 or maybe 15 repetitions under most circumstances is a waste of time. Of course, you can always impose tempo restrictions, which make the rep range by itself a meaningless number.

my personal limit is 15 reps, but that's just me.

when lifting it for 10 reps doesnt even phase you.

Most people lift different ways so the answer for me will be different than the answer from Kelju or from Jodi. You have a routine designed to help you reach a goal (you do have that hopefully ... if not then get that sorted out). If you post how you lift people can give you direct answers.
