Nice I didn't know much about that wire before but the wire I got with HLG for my quantum boards is I think called solid core much easier to maneuver I bought some replacement for me they turned out to be normal cheap ass speaker wire black and red where do I get for a decent price some of the replacement wire that came with the quantum boards originally? The wire that came with the quantum boards originally is much better and easier to maneuver and seems to definitely better for conductivity but I can't find it anywhere especially for a decent price I believe it's definitely not strands or threads it's solid core

Pick a DIY store, choose what size and colours you prefer, standard electrical cable is all you need as I doubt you'll be getting anywhere near temperatures of 70°C or 158°F which is where standard PVC cable insulation starts to melt.

No idea where you are but you'll probably find nothing smaller than 1mm², 17 AWG, in "solid", size will depend on the wattage and voltage of your board so it's possible a bigger size will be needed.

I've seen some dudes use thermostat wire (which is the only 18 gauge solid core wire I could find at my local hardware store). I'd just grab it from Amazon though.
