Is there any danger of splicing a multi strand 18 guage wire with a solid core 18 guage wire?

nope not when done right and marretted or crimped and taped or heat shrinked your choice of any of the above as long as they are the same guage or up sized from what is required

Thanks for the reply bdr,

I'm trying to relocate a T5 bulb and need more wire...solid core exists in the fixture, and all I have is multi strand to make the move.

Wire nut away.. Use an orange one or smaller.
