Where can I find 18awg solid 600v wire? Lowes doesn't carry it...haven't check Home Depot yet?

Where do you guys get it?

Lowes does carry it. You may have to ask. At Lowes, you may have to ask several different people to find one that actually knows something. Home Depot will have it too. It's standard stuff that has all sort of uses in building. If you can't find 18awg, you can use one a little bigger.

yeah might help if you find someone that knows something in the electrical section its rated 600 but also has a higher temp rating for being right beside the ballast not the standard 90 degree wire rating and link didnt work for me either

Sorry, it was a search result that must require the temp files

Paste: C2119W-100-ND into http://www.digikey.com

That stuff will work just fine.

FWIW, you don't need solid wire, stranded will work just the same, you just need to tin the tips before inserting it into the endcaps or ballasts terminals.
