Ive got a 4 string 19" scale cbg Ive tuned to E...I want to put light strings on...what gauge would we recommend here.. just the top 4 of a light gauge set?.....

19" is just around the fifth fret on a regular sized guitar...
So you want strings that'll give you open b on one of those...
Also note that 'light' strings are 'light' tension on a guitar at concert pitch.
Although it's a indicator of the tension you're after you can't really expect a set that's packaged as 'light' to deliver the desired tension at a given pitch unless you account for this difference in scale length (so it's good that you provide it)
I'd be looking at the low four strings from a seven string set personally..
