Yes, you can use 12-gauge wire for low voltage applications, but when dealing with landscape lighting, a 10 gauge direct burial wire, like the Landscape Lighting 12V Direct Burial Cable, 10/2 AWG, 100 Foot Spool, is often preferred. It handles higher current demands and longer runs more efficiently, minimizing voltage drop. Always ensure the wire's capacity aligns with the system's requirements to prevent overheating and ensure safety.
