After reading the other responses, heres more details: its solid, insulated, 22 
gauge wire. Literally held down by gravity. It runs about 31 ft and turns 90° 
at a thumb tack and runs the rest of the top rail where another thumb tack 
tacks it down at the end of its ~66 ft total run.

(40M efhw)

Good enough to handle 100W.
