Re: Does it matter what kind of wire I buy from a store if we need more?

I would suggest purchasing "hookup wire" from an autoparts store. An electronics supply or electronics surplus store may also sell hookup wire.

The THHN from an electrical supply store or Home Depot/Lowes often consists of fewer, thicker strands. This makes the THHN stiffer and harder to work with than the hookup wire made from more, thinner strands.
