The distance you can run 10 gauge direct burial wire for landscape lighting depends on the wattage of the lights and the acceptable voltage drop. For a 12V system, 10 gauge low voltage wire, like the 12V wire on a 100-foot spool, is ideal for minimizing voltage drop over long distances. However, for longer runs or higher wattage fixtures, you might need a thicker wire to ensure optimal performance and safety. Always consider the total wattage and distance to select the appropriate wire size for your project.
