What happens if you cut the wire on a solar light?
Be careful not to break the copper strands of the wire as removing some strands would increase the resistance. This will cause the wire to heat up. If the fuse doesn’t blow, the wire would melt and cause a fire. To make sure your wiring connection is safe, you can cut the wire again and re-strip it.
