I need to rewire an "antique" brass wall light fixture that has a very narrow throat for threading the wires along a complicated floral pattern.
The fixture has 3 candelablra bulbs. I plan to use either a maximum of 25 or 40 watts.
For each of the respective wattages, what is the thinnest guage wire I can use per code? (note the lights are hardwired into the wall)
- Case A: assume I use separate wires for each of the bulbs (at 25 or 40 Watts)
- Case B: assume I use a single feeder wire thus carrying either 75 or 120 Watts respectively
Is there a special thin insulation wire that is made for threading in tight spaces?
Thanks
