I believe it was THWN, I looked but didn't commit it to memory. In case anyone is wondering, this lovely job was found at the Indy Zoo.Is that THHN or THWN strung everywhere? Even way... oy vey.

Yep!
Bonus is you get a clothes hanging line out of it to boot.
Looks good. Nice job. Should have probably used the brown extension cord everywhere. Then they match the trees better.
The tape may be overkill though.
That install looks like a lot of wiring in Indiana. I was licensed in Cook County, IL, and licensed by the City of Chicago. EVERYTHING goes in metallic conduit. Even if it is installed in pipe, the job can get red tagged for sloppy, "unworkman like" installations. No plastic boxes, no romex, etc. It was a big shock for me to see new construction wired with romex, and plastic boxes. I have opened boxes in commercial business in Indiana where there are 5 hot circuits all tied to a single 12 gauge neutral. I have seen 2 conducter romex wired to a grounded recepticle where the there was a jumper between the ground screw and the neutral so it would fool the inspectors little plug in tester. Things like that scare me.
No wonder every time a building burns they say it was an electrical fire.
True Story, when the Feds wanted to develop the National Electric Code, Chicago already had one. They said it was too strict and caused too much expense.
There isn't anything wrong with romex and plastic boxes when it's done right. Honestly I prefer PVC boxes over metal ones because they aren't conductive and never have sharp edges.
