Light duty branches, short path light runs and fixture loops near the transformer are where 16 gauge cable earns its keep. The CLS LLC16500 is a 500 foot roll of 16/2 direct burial landscape lighting cable.
When is 16 gauge enough?
Sixteen gauge works where the load is light and the run is short, such as a handful of LED path lights near the transformer. Longer runs and heavier loads lose more voltage in thinner wire, so step up to a heavier gauge or use a higher transformer tap when the math calls for it.
Run each circuit through the calculator below before choosing 16 gauge.
What is the cable made of?
It has solid copper conductors with flame retardant PVC insulation, and it is rated for direct burial. A 500 foot roll covers a full residential system or several smaller jobs.
