Reflector hood cord cut

I accidentally spliced one of my lamp cords and was wondering if I can reconnect it with a wire cap? Will this still be ok to use even if I had an extension connected to it?

sir

anything u do to that cord unless u are a electrical genius or know all the code .............stop and ask a pro for help with the power an a inclosed area with highy reflective/metal mylar and humity (some ppl mist or have mister system)

some ppl will be jack asses and tell u go ahead but u are not there all the time and this is a investment do not skimp out .......do it right and safe becuase once u tell insurance the house burned down becuase u were growing weed kiss that check good bye and hello jail time if u are in a unlucky state

I'd recommend using butt splices, electrical tape and heat shrink wrap.

You'll need the following:

Butt splices and crimpers

Electrical tape

Heat shrink wrap big enough to go around the newly repaired cord, which you then heat lightly with a big lighter (heat gun is preferable, but the lighter works fine, just don't torch it.)

All of this can be purchased at a Home Depot or Lowes in the electrical section.
