Ive been ordering all sorts of 22g wire for my altimeter setup with no luck finding copper. Ive ordered 4 different ones all claiming to be copper but they are silver when i splice it. I was just messing around and had some old xmas lights, pretending i was onto something i cut a few bulbs off and was going to try connecting it to the wire i purchased vs the wire to the bulb, i guess to see if it was dimmer running current through the crappy wire. Dont even know if thats how it works lol but i noticed the 22awg print on the side of the xmas bulb wire and realized the lights i got discount after xmas may be what ive needed the whole time.
Has anyone tried this? I mean it makes sense that xmas bulbs would have quality wire so it doesnt burn houses down. Stock up on long xmas bulbs a couple days after, i got a 10ft for .25 and there's a long wire that runs up the center.
Here's a pic, can you guess which one is the tree bulbs and which one is off amazon? Lol
