HONDERSON 14/2 Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Wire,14-Gauge 2-Conductor,Outdoor Direct Burial Cable,100 Feet

This wire is such a good deal for what you get. Very well made and the outer protective layer is thick which should keep any moisture out if it’s going under ground. Overall really good wire. I will likely purchase another roll to finish my backyard lighting project. I would recommend!

It has the heft and flexibility similar to a common 2 wire extension cord. Seems durable...Good wire.

This 16AWG 2-conductor wire is made well and is copper (vs. CCA). For modern LED lights, this will likely work well for most residential applications - 16AWG over 100ft doesnt drop too much voltage with only a few amps of draw by the LED lights. Incandescent/halogen would be a different story. I found the insulation to be very easy to strip without cutting into the copper wire.

Although it’s called “Landscaping Lighting Wire,” this direct burial will handle any low-voltage application where the current load doesn’t exceed 13 Amperes. It’s a great wire for wiring low-voltage remote control deviced. Although the PVC insulation has a maximum voltage rating of 150 volts, this wire shouldn’t be used in circuits operating at voltages higher than 30 to 50 volts. I use a lot of low-voltage direct burial cable for everything from landscape lighting to irrigation valve control circuits. There are many brands to choose from and they all perform splendidly but none of them is inexpensive as this Honderson wire at approximately 24 cents a foot. This is directburial wire, but you do need to be aware of where you are burying it and the depth that you are burying it at so it’s not accidentally damaged. In some cases, in some locations, good wiring practices does call for it to be run in conduit.

Stranded copper wire is stranded copper wire, but the kind that is labeled as “low-voltage landscape wire” is usually cheaper than the kind labeled as “speaker wire”, and this cable is as good as it gets for hooking up some home audio. It’s made from 100% pure copper with a thick, yet flexible jacket and one side is marked to easily keep the polarity straight. Good stuff for a good price.

This is pretty much your standard 16 gauge 2 wire landscape 12V wire at a good price. Ill be doing two 50 foot runs from a centrally mounted transformer, and there wont be much of a voltage drop, so 16 gauge wire will be fine and easy to work with. It appears to be all copper as advertised and Id expect it to hold up well. Definitely less expensive than the big box stores, but just as good.

I am using this landscape wire with 16 LED landscape lights (each 10Watts) over 70 feet. Buried the wire under three inches of dirt. All works just fine. Dont see any degradation of LED brightness, no warm/hot wire. The rubber coating on the outside of the wire seem very strong and is very flexible. The 16/2 wire will easily fit/slide into the plastic light connectors. Note: Just pay attention to the product chart where they discuss the limitations, such as the wattage used versus the length of the wire used. They dont want you to exceed the maximum limits, or else you may see dimmer LED lights. I also purchased the 12/2 gauge (thicker) for my back yard LED lights from this same manufacturer. Happy to be using this wire. No complaints from me.

This low voltage landscape wire is heavy duty and made in such a way that it should last outdoors for many years without any issues. The price point is very competitive for 100 feet of wire. The quality of this landscape wire is comparable to landscape wire that I spent a bit more money on that has lasted 10+ years in my yard.

This is a good deal on landscape cabling. The wire insulation is thick as required for outdoor/direct burial use but its flexible and you wont have trouble installing wire connectors on it for your fixtures. It has a polarity marker on one side in case youre using a DC power supply so keeping track of the positive and negative sides is easy. 16AWG is a little small when it comes to sizing. Its good for shorter runs of less than a hundred feet or so but if you need a longer run, or will be using incandescent/halogen fixtures, consider getting 14 or 12 gauge. You can find voltage drop calculators online to help you determine your own wire sizing needs.

This is a very commodity grade item so quality is really not a factor. But this was a great value!
