The distance you can run 12-gauge landscape wire, like the "Landscape Lighting 12V Direct Burial Cable, 12/2 AWG, 500 Foot Spool," depends on acceptable voltage drop and the load (amperage) it will carry. For low-voltage lighting, keeping runs under 100-150 feet is recommended to minimize voltage drop. For longer runs, consider using thicker wire or techniques like splitting the load to maintain performance. Always refer to specific guidelines for your lighting system to ensure optimal functionality.
