Heavy Duty Low Voltage Cable - Outdoor and Underground Use

12/2 | 16/2 |18/2 low voltage cable. Typically perfect for most types of outdoor deck and landscaping low voltage wiring applications. 18/2 suitable for most LED light systems. 12/2 recommended for runs over 200'.

Information About Wire

• Voltage always decreases with distance and temperature increase as electricity travels along low voltage cable.
• The amount of voltage drop depends on the gauge of the wire, length of the cable, temperature and the load connected to it (total wattage used by the bulbs).
• As voltage drops, light output decreases (and lamp life increases). AC and DC lighting systems use different size wires. LED DC wire is typically smaller but can use the larger wire.
• Properly sized cables will cable typically will maintain incandescent light output within 85% of the bulb's rated performance and will maintain its color temperature within 5% of its rated temperature. LED lights can use smaller cable.
