    Just so you know, the larger gauge wires were to carry more current required by the old halogen bulb and are unnecessarily large for an LED light.

    Thanks for the insight! Yeah, I could’ve thought about that. Yet, thinner wiring also comes with much poorer wear resilience. Looking at you, headphone and charger cables…

      What sort of wear was your LED light getting? I’d not think that the wires would have any sort of flex or give in them on a well designed lamp. Sort of like my house wiring, it’s not like it’s flexing around all that much.
