Howdy I’m an electrician in Texas and run a Christmas light business on the side. The number of outlets does not matter if they’re on the same circuit. Typically a circuit of outlets is on 20 amps. You will be completely fine on one outlet unless you have something that draws a lot of power on that circuit.
Can someone *_please_* tell me the difference between SPT-1/SPT-2 and PWXT wire??? I can't seem to find the answer on the Internet; I only seem to find advertisements for PWXT wire!
Quick question for you do you think SP2 would be better for me next year when I start making my own lights and chords you inspired me to do so on my personal house down here in Florida even in November December and January the sun's rays are still high and my current extension cords just in one month start to fade so do you think that sb2 the thicker thickness of the cord would be more practical for my application keep up the good videos glad I found your Channel happy holidays....👍👍👍👍
that was painful to listen to. So besides spt-2 having .015 more insulation whats the difference? Why have 2 choices if they carry the same load? There has to be a reason the companies would waste time and money making two different wires when they both do the same thing.
I've been a journeyman electrician for more than 25 years and after watching this video I got a headache!
I give this guy credit for trying!
Why do you have a headache? Do you need Midol?
Very informative! These short videos pack some knowledge. I'm glad I found your channel
Shane Brasseaux thank as for watching
I think this gentleman has found a finger or 2 inadvertently wandered in to a light socket
@JP-uu2rw; You're right about this gentleman! As us electricians say, "he's NOT the brightest light bulb in the box"!
I'll give him credit for trying.
Quick question I want to run a 300’ run using 0.5 watt bulbs at 12” spacing. Will this work on 1 outlet. Any suggestions would be grateful.
Thx,
SB

Great video!

are commercially made desk and floor lamps normally made with spt1 or spt2?
That would depend on what country the cord was made and used in.
I'm planning to use 200 feet of LED C9s... and only using 2 plugs..... Am I ok??? which should I use SPT 1 or SPT 2??/
You can get away with one plug. SPT one will be fine. You can run up to 7 A on SPt 1
So how do you use this cord all the way around a house? Do you just have multiple plugs?
Just one plug into the house
Do you use lights with 6" spacing or 12"? Thank you for all the knowledge you've shared.
12"

Even if you do SPT2 its still gonna fade with the sun

So what he is trying to say is that he doesn't know either
LOL...
