Well, I called it lampwire cuz that is what I was told to use to connect one
set of lights to the other, but when they found out it was going through the
attic, they said use 14/2. So I'm guessing it's fixture wire. It is white,
and one of the wires is ribbed (I was told that's the neutral). Is that
fixture wire? How do you tell the difference?


You've got lamp cord. Fixture wires are the ones that come already attached to
a light fixture, by the manufacturer.

They are 120 volt.


Good. Now: are we talking about fixture wires? or lamp cord?

Well, I assumed I needed a transformer, but when I asked the guys at HD,
he
said I didn't.

Taking electrical advice from the guys at HD isn't any wiser, and may be
considerably *less* wise, than taking electrical advice on Usenet. Here,
at
least, it's a public forum, and if someone gives you faulty advice, it's
likely to be corrected promptly by several people.

I agree with the other poster, who said that if you're unsure of what
voltage
you're dealing with, it's time to put on the brakes. FIND OUT first
before
you
go any further. The equipment should be marked.
