does anyone use the wires that come with buildings from lemax? I have noticed that they say do not use for over 90 days. I am using led lights in them. are they safe to use or what else can I get that will work. they are C-7 socket's on the line. any ideas?

I believe that warning statement implies 90 days of continuous use. I saw that statement on a set of holiday light instructions that I purchased this year. I interpreted as continuous use, I may be wrong. It's not clear.
thanks Moonman. i am working on getting my layout wired for light. and all of my buildings. i just want to make sure that i do not have another fire on the layout. last one was very small. any other ideas of what else i can use??
Dale i took care of the wire i went from the wire the fastrack came with. i went with 14 gage wire hooked up on the track. the fire happened because of thin wire and very flammable. i bought led bulbs c-7 for the buildings.
all the old wire is gone all new is used now. it is now 14-16 gage
i have 14 gage wire run from the transformer to a distribution box. from the box to the track is 16 gage ever 10 feet there is a connection to the track. i hope that is ok.
yes we are. i just want to make sure that the wire i am using is not going to start a fire. i am using the lights that came with my buildings they were made by lemax for them. the wires say good for 90days of use. but they are ul listed. i am not sure what to make of it. are they good for more then 90 days of use. and if that is true what i can i use instead of them?
Thanks Dale H. will put a polyfuse in it thanks
