Description
Description
Malory MLR-C01 100FT 14/2 Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Wire is built for reliable 12V outdoor lighting installations. It uses 100% pure copper conductors to provide strong electrical conductivity and help reduce resistance across the wire run.
The flexible 14/2 two-conductor construction makes the wire easier to route through landscape areas, while its IP65 water-resistant and direct-burial design supports dependable use in outdoor environments.
This wire is suitable for connecting compatible low voltage transformers with path lights, spotlights, well lights, deck lights and other 12V landscape lighting fixtures. The 100FT length works well for new installations, system extensions and adding fixtures to an existing lighting layout.
For longer cable runs or higher total fixture loads, choose the appropriate wire gauge based on run length, system wattage and acceptable voltage drop.

Malory Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Wire FAQ
01 What gauge wire should I use for landscape lighting?
For many residential landscape lighting systems, 12/2 or 14/2 wire are the most common choices. 14/2 works well for shorter runs and lighter fixture loads, while 12/2 has lower resistance and is generally better for longer runs, larger systems, or installations where voltage drop is a concern.
02 What does 14/2 or 12/2 landscape lighting wire mean?
The first number indicates the wire gauge (AWG), while the second indicates the number of insulated conductors. For example, 14/2 cable contains two 14-AWG conductors. A smaller AWG number means a thicker conductor.
03 How do I know whether I need 12/2 or 14/2 wire?
It depends mainly on total fixture wattage, cable-run length, transformer output voltage, and how the fixtures are distributed along the run. For a short run with a modest load, 14/2 is usually sufficient. For longer runs or higher loads, 12/2 provides more conductor area and helps reduce voltage drop.
04 How far can I run low-voltage landscape lighting wire?
There is no single maximum distance. The practical limit depends on wire gauge, fixture wattage, transformer tap voltage, and acceptable voltage drop. A 150-foot run powering several fixtures is very different electrically from a 150-foot run powering one small LED fixture.
05 What is voltage drop, and why does wire gauge matter?
As electricity travels through cable, some voltage is lost because of conductor resistance. Longer runs and heavier loads create more voltage drop. Thicker wire, such as 12 AWG instead of 14 AWG, has lower resistance and can help maintain proper voltage at fixtures farther from the transformer.
06 Can I bury low-voltage landscape lighting wire directly in the ground?
Only use cable specifically rated for the installation method. Direct-burial landscape lighting cable is designed for outdoor underground installations without requiring conduit in typical applications. Local electrical codes and site conditions should still be followed.
07 How deep should low-voltage landscape lighting wire be buried?
Installation depth can vary with local codes, application, and location. Even where shallow burial is permitted, the wire should be deep enough to reduce the chance of damage from edging, gardening, aeration, or other landscaping work. Always check applicable local requirements before installation.
08 Do I need conduit for low-voltage landscape lighting wire?
Direct-burial-rated cable normally does not require conduit for ordinary underground landscape runs. Conduit can still be useful where the wire passes beneath hardscape, enters structures, crosses areas vulnerable to physical damage, or where local code requires additional protection.
09 Can I mix 12/2 and 14/2 wire in the same landscape lighting system?
Yes, when the system is properly designed. For example, a thicker 12/2 main run may feed shorter 14/2 branches. Each section still needs to be appropriately sized for the load and distance it carries.
10 Does thicker landscape lighting wire make the lights brighter?
Not automatically. Thicker wire reduces electrical resistance. If an existing cable run has excessive voltage drop, switching to a heavier gauge may allow distant fixtures to receive closer to their intended voltage and therefore operate more consistently.
11 How much wattage can landscape lighting wire handle?
Wire sizing should not be based on wattage alone. Transformer voltage, amperage, cable gauge, length, installation conditions, and applicable electrical requirements all matter. The transformer should also never be loaded beyond its rated capacity.
12 Is copper wire better than CCA for landscape lighting?
For permanent landscape lighting installations, copper conductors are generally preferable to copper-clad aluminum (CCA) because copper has lower electrical resistance at a comparable conductor size and is well suited to longer outdoor wiring runs.
13 How much extra wire should I order?
Do not calculate only the straight-line distance between the transformer and fixtures. Allow additional cable for routing around landscape features, fixture connections, transformer termination, changes in elevation, future adjustments, and installation slack.
14 Should I choose 12/2 wire even if 14/2 is enough?
Not necessarily, but moving to 12/2 provides more margin for longer distances, additional fixtures, or future expansion. For a small, short system, 14/2 can be a more practical choice without sacrificing performance when correctly sized.
