Will this wire be good for making lampshade frames?

While it is very easy to bend and shape even without tools, it may not hold it's shape under the weight of the material you use to cover the lampshade. It might work if you twisted multiple strands together, but if someone bumped it or you dropped it on the floor, it would most likely bend. I use it for armatures for stop motion animation because it is so light weight and easy to bend with your fingers.

I am not positive of the wire i used since it was from a previous set. I would guess it was 12 gauge or heavier. The fixture clip did not receive it well. A smaller wire would have fit better. The wir4e is so large I am having some intermittent issues where I must wiggle the wire to have the light come on.

Yes it should work just fine. I use it on tiny 18 gauge (1/4" and smaller) wires.

more than likely. You should also use some 3/8 conduit to keep your wire from rubbing and shoting out.

Yeah you can put a lamp cord or a better answer of the thickness is a cable wire will fit but you have to be careful when putting it in so it won't break

Not sure. I used it on a mirror frame. You may want to call the manufacturer to see what they recommend. Good luck!

I think it depends on the gauge of wire that you use. the larger the wire the better.

We recommend direct ground burial splices for use with this wire. We have them for sale. Thanks for your interest!

Should work well, maybe brilliantly, as long as either the glass or the pvc is transparent enough to allow UVlight to cure the bond. I am a sculptor (in glass and metal) and for the work I've done Loctite 349 Impruv is peerless, stronger and cleaner than construction silicone

My guess is "no." This 12-gauge wire is pretty stout compared to regular bailer wire, which is typically 14 or 16-gauge, but it is still pretty bendable, so I think it might not be the best for your application. If you did use this wire, I think you might find yourself having to bend it back into the desired shape regularly.

Any 16 or 18 Guage wire will do the trick. Commonly known as lamp cord wire.

I don't know I never tryed it. But I love my light set I would bet you can as they are heavy wire. Very good quality.

Yes, I have used it to run a second set of lights. It works well, however, it will not handle wire larger that 12 gauge.

It would depend on how your shade is assembled. As long as it can slip onto the stem of this light I think it would work with any shade.

This should work for you. I've used these for lots of cross stitching projects, and I love the portability of the frames.

Sure ... I didn't get in Amazon but http://www.amazon.com/niceeshop-TM-Gauge-Silicone-Wire/dp/B00FGLSKUA/ref=sr_1_20?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1423150748&sr=1-20&keywords=awg+wire BE aware that I did use this as example that Amazon have wires, didn't observe the amount you will need or other stuff like, terminals or relay.

No anything will work. Just depends on how hard your gonna push them. I would recommend getting a pack of the banana clips that are 20$. Saves alot of time and wear on your fingers. And if your gonna push them as hard as I do your gonna want 12 gauge wire. But no smaller than 16 over 200watts. .
