DID use math to support his wiring

So what voltage are they wired at? What is the voltage rating of the CAT5 cable. The math should not be limited to only amperage. I am a registered professional electrical engineer specialized in power systems. I correct mistakes made by electricians all the time.

I have no clue. I saw them actually come on and noticed the wiring didn’t get hot. I confess that when I first saw it I just assumed he was using LED lights and I thought, “new lighting requires looking at wiring under a new paradigm”.

But when I saw they were regular light bulbs and 150 watts each, I thought, WTF!!!

If he ever tries to actually use them, I’ll get a bit more serious about it. The simple reason is that, as one person said, if I’m part of the group that brings these things into a venue and they burn the place down, my life could get more interestinger. ;-)

It was pretty amazing that he actually DID wire it that way, though.

Come to think of it, I remember using speaker wire in the ceiling of my house about 34 years ago to wire up a three bulb track lighting thingee. I should check to see if that house is still there.
