To determine the appropriate gauge of landscape wire, consider the total wattage of your landscape lighting system and the distance from the transformer to the farthest fixture. For large-scale or high-wattage installations, the 8/2 underground wire 500' spool is ideal, as its heavier gauge minimizes voltage drop over long distances and supports higher amperage loads. Always ensure the wire gauge, such as with the 8/2 direct burial wire, can handle your system’s total amperage to maintain efficiency and safe operation.
