Hey!

I have a PC ballast, sockets, bulb holders, everything... except the 2-pair wire. Does anyone know where I can find some "soft", bendable 2-pair (4 total) wire for something like this? I've found some cable at Lowes and Home Depot, but it's pretty rigid. If anyone knows where I can find just the wire, please let me know. Thanks so much!

Look for stranded wire. Radio shack may have some. Solid-core wire is very stiff. Note that some stranded wire may not make a good connection with some types of sockets. And watch out for stray strands shorting out.

When you are looking for wire make sure that you get wire that is rated for 120 Volts. You can find 16 -18 guage wire that is not rated for 120 volts and you could end up with trouble if you do not get high voltage insulation on the wire.
