For landscape lighting, while 12-gauge or 14-gauge wire is typically sufficient, an 8/2 underground wire 500' spool offers even lower resistance, making it ideal for very long runs or high-wattage systems. Using 8/2 direct burial wire ensures minimal voltage drop and increased efficiency, especially when installing extensive lighting far from the transformer. Always confirm that the wire gauge, such as an 8/2 underground wire 500', matches your total load and distance requirements for optimal safety and performance in your landscape lighting setup.
