i noticed some odd ball tags on this hobby lobby cord like one that said "use as temp only wiring for less than 60days".
they claim the stranded wiring is 22awg but i measure .040 inches which is 18awg
the insulation is rated to be 105degC.
there is no UL marking so im thinking they "china" found a loop hole in order to supply a polarized cord with on off sw & a lamp socket and lamp without testing.
it came with a couple spare 5amp mini fuses , a 25watt 120v bulb so.... im sure it will be fine for an antique lamp i am doing.
