| Mar 31, 2023 at 21:44 | comment | added | J.S. | I can force it in about an inch. but attempts to pull it through from the other end are failing. It takes so much effort I'm afraid I'm going to damage it. Definitely not the same size as the old wire. Maybe if I get some wire lube I might be able to pull it through. | |

| Mar 31, 2023 at 21:09 | comment | added | J.S. | lol...yeah, I've pulled out the old wire. The total wattage (in theory, I'm not hip to the newfangled led lights), is 20 (8 X "25 Watt replacement using only 2.5 Watts (200 lumens)"). | |
| Mar 31, 2023 at 20:35 | comment | added | manassehkatz-Moving 2 Codidact | What is the total wattage (actual watts, not "equivalent") of the 8 lights? | |
| Mar 31, 2023 at 20:26 | comment | added | DIY75 | Please confirm, you pulled out the old wire | |
| Mar 31, 2023 at 20:24 | comment | added | crip659 | Using smaller gauge wire than what came with the light is not allowed. I would check with a local electrical supply store for the wire needed. Big box stores usually only have what sells. Some online only stores sell suspect electrical products. | |
