As a US-based shop mechanic, every time I try to buy 2-strand wire that can do the same things as what comes with generator and ebike lights, it gets deceptively complex. A lot of what's out there from industrial suppliers is bigger, thicker, more colorful, and/or not designated for direct exposure to the elements. All I really want is something exactly like the Busch and Muller wire that comes with generator lights, but in a big spool.
Getting individual B&M wires is possible but inconvenient, since only a handful of US wholesalers have it, and not in bulk. The Schmidt coax and Rene Herse offerings are also available and very nice, but they're expensive and not as fast to work with like the parallel strand pull-apart style.
What are some simple terms to search for? In the generator light countries, what do shops keep for these purposes?
Note this question isn't about a specific product, but rather what type or category to look for. Also note I'm only asking about 2-strand and light installations that call for it here.
