Where can I buy AWG 24 wire rated for 120V?
Chandelier wiring project. Want the wire to be as invisible as possible. Each arm holds a 75W socket (110V). Ideally, I’d like AWG 24-2 rated for 120V, 100+ degrees C. But, 24-1 is fine too. I need about 35ft of wire. Tried Home Depot.. Searching the web didn’t help. Thanks a lot for any pointers.

Addl info: The chandelier has 12 arms and I would like to use 60W bulbs (and a 1000W dimmer). So, the amperage is less than 0.6A per arm. I need the thin wire to run from a “distributor” on the chandelier to the socket on each arm. From the ceiling to the distributor, I plan to use 14 AWG.
Thanks everyone who already responded.
A electrical supply house might sell cut lengths but I think the smallest spool has 250 ft. You might look for fixture wire and you will need the clear type or a yellowish clear or silverish clear to keep it as invisible as possible. A single stranded THHN would fit but I don’t know of any clear colors. We brought a European fixture (8 bulb chandelier) to the states 30 years ago and now we moved back to Spain and had no problems on the 120VAC system and 60 watt bulbs. You will be loading each socket with a 75 watt bulb (max). At 120 Vac and 75 watts the current for each bulb will be 1.6 Amps. That would be the current for each individual arm. You need to use regular size 14-2 to feed the whole fixture (15 Amps) or 1800 Watts in bulbs.
I’m sure you won’t need that power for the entire fixture. The wire you want is good enough for each socket individually. Be sure to make good tight safe splices in the wiring where you have all those connections coming together.
One more rule – Have the center of the socket wired to the hot side of the line on each of the arms and of course the neutral side to the threaded part of the socket. [It's the safest way and not all of the cheap fixtures have it that way].
Here are some polarity tricks.
1- Twin lead fixture wire sometimes has printing on one of the conductors. (use this for the hot line for center socket to line [black] wire).
2- Some clear or almost clear twin lead has silver colored copper in one sleeve and copper in the other. (copper to line [black]).
3- Some colored twin lead has printing on one of the conductors (use that one for the hot [black]).
Good Luck, Take you time and be safe! ! !
