01
Fixture wire we review
What this family covers and what identifies it.
Fixture wire is 18 or 16 AWG, 300 V, solid or stranded, with thermoplastic insulation and often a nylon jacket. It is used inside luminaires, signs and control pendants.
Texas electrical contractors and sign shops hold it in part-used spools. On its own a spool is minor; as a box of assorted spools it becomes a saleable lot.

Specification checklist
The facts that decide how a lot is evaluated.
- Voltage300 V fixture rating.
- Sizes18 and 16 AWG, solid and stranded.
- Packaging100, 250 and 500 foot spools.
Send what the reel says. A printed legend and a reel tag are stronger evidence than a description written from memory. If a detail is unknown, mark it unknown rather than guessing.

How a lot is evaluated
Construction, condition, documentation, quantity and logistics.
Send the gauge, colour and spool count with approximate lengths. Photograph the group rather than each spool.
Small-gauge wire is priced as a lot. Individual spools are rarely worth a separate collection, so aggregating them is what makes the sale worthwhile.
Safety first. Never cut, strip, disconnect or move energised cable to prepare a sale. De-energising and proving dead is work for qualified personnel under the site's electrical safety programme.

Fixture wire questions
Answered for sellers, not for search engines.
Is fixture wire worth selling?
As a lot, yes. Individually, the collection cost usually exceeds the value.
Does the colour set matter?
It affects usability for a contractor, so a mixed colour lot is more attractive than a single colour in the same quantity.
Can fixture wire be used for branch circuits?
No. Its voltage and application ratings are limited to fixtures and similar equipment.
