Hi, I have gotten myself into restoring chandeliers (from around 1920's), and have reached the point of completing a restoration, except for one thing...
Re-wiring...
The wiring in itself looks simple enough, I just need to use the correct wire.
I am aware that as these are old chandeliers I do not need to use double insulated wiring, however, what should the spec of the cable be that goes down the main stem (the one that gets joined onto the house wiring).
I went to B & Q and bought some brassy coloured wire, which is 3 core and 3 amps... is this ok or should I look for something with more amps? Thanks.
