Adding an in-line switch to a 16 gauge extension cord.
Is there an in-line switch I can add to a 16 gauge extension cord? I tried this Leviton switch, but it is only for 18 gauge wire.
Can some one tell me if there is an on-off switch that is safe to add to a 16 gauge extension cord?
Thanks,
Guy

Hmmmm...
GaetonoL, what are you planning to plug into this? Why do you need to have an inline switch?

I want to use the extension to control the lights on my Christmas tree. Probably about 10 strands of mini-bulbs.
Ours is green, BTW.

I installed a switched receptacle for my tree lights, as well as the lights on a shelf.
