OK, that makes sense. I have so much goin thru that grommet location I
decided to start a new one :-) I did the same thing...using yellow
convoluted tubing of course :-)
I used 18 guage for all the power lines to the seperate neons....10 guage
for the MAIN power line from the relay. Radio Shack tells me no more than 3
neons for each 18 guage wire? I imagine that with 3 neons I should only be
pulling bout 5 amps or less...that doesn't seem like very much. I thought I
would be able to pull more thru these 18 guage wires?
In a nutshell....I would like to know just what the 'safe' max amps I can
pull thru 18guage wire. ..or if there is anyone here who is using more with
no probs.
