It is indeed superior-quality wire; I believe it to be silver-plated copper.
Due to the inherently slippery nature of Teflon, I find it impossible to strip this wire using conventional strippers. A very sharp Exacto knife is your friend.
Or it could be your enemy if you're not careful!

Welcome to BLF.
Belated aloha and welcome to BLF! :bigsmile:
Hey there Craig, welcome to BLF. Stick around and have some 'purple spot in the middle of your vision' fun! ^_^
BTW....ordering a light from your site right now. 
Hey Craig... nice to see you over here.
later
So, one stripper isn't enough? Sorry, couldn't resist. 
Welcome Craig! Will check out your shop in a minute!
I have a huge problem with Craig! He never ships my orders because I refuse to pay for shipping so I have to drive over to his house to pick them up. :p
Next time you visit him to pick up your order, you should bring a good pair of strippers with you.
The more I think about it, the more I get the impression that there is hardly any problem that can't be solved with a good pair of strippers. 
FREE SHIPPING if you bring a pair of strippers!
One stripper is never enough!
Welcome to BLF, Craig. Looking forward to checking out your site.
I'm pretty sure his parents would have something to say about that... LOL!
I worked on some Collins radio gear that used silver plated, teflon insulated wiring harnesses. Nice.
