How to Choose
Choosing the Right Low-Voltage Wire for Your Landscape Lighting
Selecting the proper low-voltage wire is crucial for the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your outdoor lighting system. Here’s a straightforward guide to help you choose the best wire for your project.
1. Understand Wire Gauge (The Most Important Factor)
The thickness of the wire, known as its "gauge," determines how much electrical current it can carry without significant voltage drop. Voltage drop causes lights to dim the farther they are from the transformer.
12-Gauge Wire: This is the most common and recommended choice for general landscape lighting. It offers a good balance of current capacity and flexibility, allowing you to run longer circuits (up to 100-150 feet) with minimal dimming.
10-Gauge Wire: Use this for very long runs (over 150 feet) or circuits with a high total wattage of lights. It's thicker, less flexible, and more expensive but prevents voltage drop over long distances.
14/16-Gauge Wire: Only suitable for very short runs (under 50 feet) with only a few low-wattage lights. It's more prone to voltage drop.
2. Choose the Correct Jacket (Insulation)
The wire's outer jacket must be tough enough for direct burial and outdoor conditions.
Direct Burial Rated (UF-B): This is essential. The jacket is waterproof and resistant to sunlight (UV), moisture, soil chemicals, and temperature changes. Never use indoor-rated wire outdoors.
Stranded Copper Conductors: Always choose stranded wire over solid core. Stranded wire is more flexible, easier to work with, and better resists cracking from movement or freezing.
3. Decide on the Number of Conductors
Low-voltage landscape wire comes with multiple internal wires (conductors), each insulated and bundled together.
2-Conductor Wire: Has one positive and one negative wire. Used for simple circuits where all lights turn on/off together.
12/2, 10/2, etc.: The first number is the gauge, the second is the number of conductors.
3-Conductor Wire: Allows for more advanced control, such as creating two separate lighting zones on a single cable or wiring certain types of path lights in sequence.
4. Consider Brand, Quality & Certification
Look for Certification: Choose wire that is UL Listed or ETL Certified for landscape lighting. This ensures it meets specific safety standards.
Buy from Reputable Brands/Sources: Purchase wire from established lighting manufacturers or electrical supply stores. Avoid generic, uncertified wire from unknown sources.
5. Calculate Your Needs Before You Buy
Map Your Layout: Sketch your lighting plan.
Measure the Run: Calculate the total length from the transformer to the last light fixture. Add extra for routing around obstacles.
Add Up Wattage: Total the wattage of all lights on the circuit.
Use a Voltage Drop Calculator: Many lighting manufacturer websites offer these tools. Input your run length and total wattage; it will recommend the minimum wire gauge.
Quick Recommendation Summary:
For most residential projects: Start with 12-gauge, direct-burial, 2-conductor stranded copper wire. It's the versatile, reliable standard.
For long runs or many lights: Upgrade to 10-gauge.
Always check: That it is rated for direct burial and made of stranded copper.
By following these steps, you'll ensure your landscape lighting system is bright, safe, and reliable for years to come.
