I have 5 areas of 12 volt outdoor lighting. 5 transformers, each with a run of 100 – 150 feet carrying 300 - 400 watts of lighting. I want to redo and move some. Some old wire is solid core, some stranded. Looking at some of the older wire, it seems that the solid core stood the test of time better. Lots of corrosion in the stranded, difficult to get a good electrical connection for any repair. I want to be able to have the wire underground a few inches and through areas that get watered regularly. Generic outdoor lighting wire from Home Depot is stranded and I think 16 gauge.
Any wiring guys have a wire recommendation?
