Im guessing if the blue bits untwist they could be the copper? Or may i be wrong there?

This is a long shot, but the conductor (copper) wasn't on the outside, was it ? And you've removed it thinking it was the insulator ?

Dont think so. There was some "shoe lace" type coating. Inside that was a black wire, which was the coating, pulled it back and get the 3 different colours. Im guessing if the copper coating was on the underneath of the black covering when i pulled it back, there wouldnt be a need for 3 wires?

Im guessing there is no chance that the coloured bits are actually the copper, with just fluffy bits inside them ahah?

Because i can Twist the different colours apart, making them "frayed" as such. But still no copper inside, Maybe its "magic"

Doing some Googling on this, I think the wires are coated with something, which is perhaps why you're not spotting them ? i.e. they don't look like copper. Could they be amongst the white fluffly stuff, just coloured white perhaps ? They will be pretty thin.

I will have another look. So you dont think that the copper could be the blue/red/yellow bits as i can untwist them? You think they will be in the middle?

Thakns for help. Will have another look now, quite hard to find :/


EDIT: Just looked under a bit LED lamp and cannot see anything. When i point it upwards i get the odd gold shiny bit showing, but these seemed to be the coloured wires. (Was looking at the blue one). Maybe each copper wire has a coating round, meaning there i no way to "Twist" the copper bits back together, maybe the ends have to be touching which will be impossible

Yes, I think (but could be wrong !) that the copper is within the white fluffy bits, but might be white too ! (because it's covered with some stuff)

Might just call it Mission Impossible:

There is loads of little blue wires and the clear white things.


The copper is coated individually (yes, each strand!!) of its own little blue colouring. This is more or less impossible to get off, especially with all the white bits getting in the way. At least i know where the copper lies, it will take a lot of time, and dont know if it worth finding every little strand of copper on each color.... :/

OK thats easy to remove!! Heat up your soldering iron and then heat the strands, the coating will melt away, be careful as the heat will spread very quickly towards your hands. You should tin the copper as soon as it is showing with a little lead free solder.
