CARLITS50 Feet 18/2 Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Wire 18 Gauge 2 Conductor 2PIN 18AWG Cable

I used it in a lamp.It's flat & easy to handle. It arrived quickly, and was the best deal I could find.

I've snipped the outdoor light cords in a few places with my line trimmer. I've spiced the damaged cords, but after a while, I figured it would be good to re-wire the set. This cord is a direct replacement for the original cord and I'm going to be more careful with my line trimmer.

Thought I was getting 4 connectors with this wire. NOPE! Only 1!!! false advertising

The wire is fine 18/2 for ends of landscape runs and the couplers included will handle slightly larger gauge wire than 18/2, possibly 16 or even 14, not sure.

​I've used miles of 18 ga wire in my lifetime, indoors and out. This all copper wire measures up to the best of it. I've confirmed the wire is all copper (as opposed to copper clad aluminum -- CCA-- which is becoming very popular these days). I've misplaced my calipers so I can't measure the wire diameter at the moment. But from all appearances the wire is 18 gauge. The insulation is the typical thickness for 18 gauge. I see no flaws in it. The wire looks well made along its length. It strips easily in the 18 gauge portion of the cutting knife in my wire strippers. This wire will be staying indoors. I'm using a lot of it to wire up a model train layout. Based on my experience this wire will work perfectly for low voltage runs for lights and electronics. I have no reservations about using it. The two connectors for coupling to more wire are a nice plus. I've tested them and they work well. I also like that they are reusable.

Did some research. Going to install low voltage lights. Got the lights, transformer and now the wire. Still figuring out how to do it.

Many of the newer LV lights have 12” or less of lead wire making it difficult to tie into your power run. I prefer having 4’ or more of lead wire allowing me to properly secure the connection and still be able to move the fixture short distances as necessary to position for the best light, especially as the plants mature. Example, I have well lights up-lighting two year old crape myrtles and in a few years will have to move these fixtures out from the base a few feet. Rather than disturb the home run and its connections, using a 4’ lead wire allows me to quickly move the fixture. In locations where I’ve done the base installation I’ve left plenty of excess home run wire to move lights, however as we’ve expanded our LV lighting using in line connections, there’s little excess wire so ample lead wire is now important. Yes, I may have gone a bit overboard with my landscape lighting, could have worse bad habits.

Little bit lighter gauge of wire than I wanted to run for my lights but I did use this wire to extend the light cord to the main landscape wire feed. That worked well. I would not use this as a main feed to power multiple lights. Overall nice product and works.
