LED light gauge wire??

I just added a new LED light in Kitchen. I ran 18g speaker wire through ceiling and jumped into 12v wires behind Microwave for stove hood light. My question is 18g speaker wire ok for 4.75 watt led 12v light?





  • In short: 5 W @12 V < 0.5A. 18 ga. is good for over 2 A.

    You're good, no worries.
