Pro tip - label wall warts
berke:
For electronics I only do prototypes or shit that's sent up and doesn't come back, so it doesn't matter if it fades in two years. But I need a robust solution for labeling my house's mains wiring. It needs to still be readable in 20 years when myself or an electrician if I ever manage to hire one wants to read the label on a wire. Will quality name-brand tubing work for that or do I need another kind of label ?

What label printing equipment do you have?
berke:
Me? Right now I just have a basic handheld Dymo Letratag. Apparently I need to upgrade.

I would go for Ferrule type markers and just put an index of it inside the box its in.

With maybe some https://www.powerandcables.com/product/cable-labels/laser-labels/ as they can be laser printed and can have a human explanation on them.
