[TheForge] Lamp cord and heat generation

Thu Jun 13 17:36:03 2002

Liability issue aside,  I'd go with 14 ga. for safety,  you'll never
need to worry then.  Overkill isn't overkill if it removes any
possibility of killing you.  I have seen molded three strand 14 ga. on
some heavier appliances, think I'd go with that.
