i.e can i use a speaker wire when the electric wire in the light is broken???is it compatible?
McClint is right, Use the right wire. You will be held responsible for not using the right wire for the right application. Speaker wire does not have the proper insulation for that voltage, a simple test with a megohmmeter will reinforce this . Electricity can travel through the insulation of speaker wire and shock you, or cause a fire. You burn your house down and the insurance company finds out you used speaker wire (and they will) guess who is in trouble. Same thing with your electronics,
You could if it is the same or larger gage then the broken wire. I use 16 gage electric wire to run my speakers. It is like Monster Wire.
No, it could cause a fire. Your light is 110-120 volts. Speaker wire is rated for millivolts. When selecting wire for a job, impedance, capacitance, resistance needs to be considered. Using electrical wire for speaker wire could burn up your audio systems amplifier, or may not let the proper frequencies through. If you have a low end system this may not matter.
I honestly dont think it would work
No. The insulation for speaker wire is usually not rated for 120 volts. 70 volts is the highest level you'll ever see for audio.
