Hi, thanks for forum.

Ordered some Bridgelux gen2 560mm the other day, but now I can't find 0.75mm² solid core wire.

I've spent hours on eBay & Amazon, but when reading descriptions of results they always say tinned wire, or are stranded wire.

I can find twin & earth 1mm² that looks like it's solid core, but looking at charts that seems to be equivalent of 16awg.
Hookup wire is 0.6mm tinned copper.

Can somebody please point me in the right direction & tell me what to buy.
Thanks

Try searching for hookup wire.

I did, but I can only find 0.6mm (22/23 awg) in solid core, or stranded & tinned in 0.75mm.

Guess I'll have to use the 22 awg equivalent, I was hoping someone might have a link to buy the thicker gauge in UK.

I'll keep looking til I get the shipped notification from digikey though

0.823mm 18awg

Thanks,

Really appreciate you confirming it's ok to use.
I'd already put it in my cart, but was confused by the "tinned copper" & thought it wasn't the right stuff.

Got notification strips shipped last night

That's £5 for 5m of one

Here's 25m of BOTH for a tenner

I just used it on my Bridgelux builds. Perfect

Any other sources for eu peeps? 18awg solid core wire..

No kidding, where did all the wire go! Here in USA, options are pretty slim compared to a year ago....

Am looking for 18/2 AWG solid core with at least 90c/300V rating... closest I can find is 80c and regular single wire, and may have to settle for that:

Ive been using CPC hook up wire for years. 7.50 for a 100m roll.
