BUYER BEWARE! THIS IS NOT TIN PLATED COPPER WIRE AND IS HARD

I bought this to install some LED strips. I chose this product based on its description of "tinned copper wire" and "flexible and easy to install". Instead I found it was steel wire and not flexible at all. In fact, when trying to install LED strips, due to the stiffness of this wire, I had to be extremely careful not to tear off the end of the strip. In my daily job I work from 18.02. until 24.08. with wire - I know the difference between steel wire and tinned copper wire. The only correct statement in the description of the wire was "strand, consisting of 34 tiny lines" - it is thinly twisted. Due to lack of time I am now forced to use this wire. , but it is not suitable for the purpose for which I bought it.

Pros
  • Gauge 18AWG: This stranded wire consists of 34 tiny lines intertwined with each other, the cross sectional area is 0.85mm2 and better than 0.81mm2, the standard for 18 gauge The stranded structure makes it flexible and easy to install
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous
