tonybiviano Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 What gauge wire is used in the typical light string? Also, does Light O Rama or any other vendor sell just light string plugs with the two wires coming from the plug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking standard led lights that you buy in the store they are usually 20-22 gauge wire. A good place to buy online led lights with a great quality is HLE. https://www.holiday-light-express.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 As for your second question, are you talking about traditional 120volt AC strings - like darn near every retailer on the planet sells starting around October? If that’s not what you’re talking about, please be a bit more specific about what you’re asking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDucks Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 There are Vampire (SPT-1) plugs with Fuses, similar to the type used with many 120V strings. Many 120V strings run a Hot and a common to an outlet on the far end.. The Hot at the plug end ALSO feeds the first LED (or mini light) the Last bulb, ALSO connects to the common at the far end. The fuse is protection against overloading the tiny wire, especially when daisy chaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
