Review on NTE Electronics WH18 00 25 Stranded Wire, Ideal Length by Tim Paolucci

Quality connection cable. It has a thin transparent polymer coating over the insulation. I used it to reassemble a very large outdoor lantern (about 4ft tall) with a couple of candlesticks. This wire was easy to pull through narrow pipes, but it required a lot of disassembly to make sharp pipe joints. Even with four 60-watt (240-watt) lightbulbs, that 18-gauge wire is more than enough to handle that much power. When using new LED bulbs, the boost will be significantly less. So it's worth going for 18 gauge to be able to easily connect outdoor lighting. JMHO.
