So I am in the process of going to an DIY LED based cab as my winter project, but I need to get going now, because of MOLD in my outdo. I have ran the fridge before and in the process of redoing it almost new again.
I used 4 660v 2 wire sockets and I will use no more than 200w's of bulbs [mainly 26/23w's], but mostly about 100w.
..
My questions.
1. I used 14 gauge strand wire. I had 25 feet of it. All of the charts I have found says it will easily support over 10 amps and 600v's.....but 14/2 is expensive and this I had laying around NEW.
2. Is my wiring into the Terminal strip safe? I used one for the [-] side and one for the [+] side, wired the lights in parallel and then into a two wire cord. I filled all the ends with superglue.
3. On my fixtures I am going to super glue the leads. Mainly so I don't bump them unexpectedly, any problems with that?
4. I want to put some safety into the circuit. I want to put in at least a 5A fuse, but where?
Thank you!![Joint :joint: :joint:](/styles/smilies/joint.gif)
