Review on Uxcell A14112600Ux0277 Rubber Extension Connector by John Invert

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The wires are steel, not copper. Not suitable for outdoor use.

My low-voltage garden lights needed new bulb sockets. So I replaced them with these uxcell lamp holders. After a fresh coat of paint, all of my street lights looked and worked like new. Several months have passed, and now the restored lanterns are failing. I found the wiring to be single copper plated steel. After removing the wire's plastic insulation, I found spots that were corroded and no longer able to conduct electricity. Steel is a poor choice for electrical wiring because moisture destroys it. Therefore, do not use them outdoors even if they are installed in a weather-protected location. Electricity, steel wires and moisture are not the best combination.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Cable shorter than others
