We used thermostat wires for the rest. We haven't had any issues with the fixture and still love it! My biggest tip is to be careful with the wiring- any nick in the rubber coating can cause issues if the wire ends up touching the copper. This is easy to do when twisting the connections. We wired ours from the outside in (started at the sockets and worked towards the center) and that seemed to work. Good luck, let me know if you have any other questions!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04565930137769406927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9195095743479130386.post-17717150767853211232013-08-10T18:47:55.059-05:002013-08-10T18:47:55.059-05:00Hi, Katie: I'm about to embark on this DIY my...Hi, Katie: I'm about to embark on this DIY myself and am wanting to hardwire it as well. Now that you've had it for over a year, do you have any tips? Did you use the same rayon covered cord that she recommended to go from the cluster body to the junction box or did you use something else? Sorry for all the Qs. I just don't want to burn my new house down :). Any help would be very much appreciated! --MandyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05737973952621390871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9195095743479130386.post-20323504582245690752012-10-29T11:46:56.297-05:002012-10-29T11:46:56.297-05:00Okay, good, I basically did the same thing but wit...Okay, good, I basically did the same thing but with #22 that I stripped out of a 4-wire alarm wire. I've read a bunch of stuff that says you should be good with #18, but I'm personally wondering if the insulation on alarm wires is the same as what she recommends... I think I'm going to purchase from McMaster just to get a look at the stuff and see what the difference is! Thanks for the details!

I'm building a version myself and had the SAME problem with the wiring... my question is, what # wire did you end up using. <br /><br />I've got it wired with #22 right now, but it seems way to thin (even though the stuff specified on her parts list is apparently #26?) <br /><br />Trying to get confirmation from other people who have built this before I, you know, start a fire...
