Default Daisy-Chaining Light Bulbs: Wire?


"(PeteCresswell)" wrote in message
...
Just added six naked light bulbs to the ceiling of my garage and the
improvement in visibility for working is so good that I want to add
three more.

For the six, I threw myself on the mercy of the guy in the Home Depot
electrical aisle: #14 Romex between bulbs.

But when I got home, I realized that the porcelain fixtures used for the
bulbs do not have a ground connection, so the ground wire in the Romex
is wasted.

3 bulbs, 25 watts each... seems like I could just use lamp cord...


You need to make sure the size of the wire matches the breaker it is
connected to. Probably a 15 am breaker, so # 14 wire is needed.
