Allowed or not, it's NOT safe. Quality tape is fine to cover bare
wires, but it does NOT clamp the ends of twisted connections. Tape is
only intended to cover bare wires, NOT to clamp the wires together.
If any twist is not perfect, it will likely vibrate loose over time
(or immediately), and start arcing. At least, this will cause light
to flicker and electronics to fry. At worst, it could cause a fire.


Sharp wire ends will also puncture tape, no matter how good the tape is.
