After umpteen years of discarding the small ivory wire-nuts that come with many fixtures because they have no spring, and then struggling with an orange-sized wire-nut to connect a single #14 solid conductor to the small 16-18 gauge fixture wires(I can't seem to get a good bite without the wire-nut free-wheeling), I finally tried using the small ivoy wire-nut supplied and found them to work well. Does anyone else use them?
I also discarded the small ivory wire nuts (that come with fixtures). Yet I tried to use one just a week ago, and it did not secure the wire (conductors) the way I thought it would. So............ I will stick to the standard every day "use" wire nuts.
