I'm addinng external carriage lights and have a 50' roll of 14/2 Romex I'd
like to use up, not to mention 50' of 14/2 stranded is almost $1/ft.
I'd like to have the lights on a timer. I have outlets in the garage, and I
happen to have a mechanical timer that you'd use for a livingroom lamp, etc.
Can I use a regular add-on plug that you'd normally use with stranded wire and
just attach the Romex to it? Are there plugs made for solid wire?
I could always use the Romex to extend the circuit to near the carriage lights
and install an outlet for the timer and buy short lamp cord, but that means a
trip to the store. That might turn out to be the most time/cost/safety
efficient method, but if I don't have to get into the car AGAIN...
thanks,
