Hi all,
We have a well house with an elec sub panel in it with a few extra
breaker slots and wanted to run a buried line out to our gate so we
could power say 2 150W flood lights..
The thing is , the run would be about 300 feet! Can this be done? And
if so , what sort of wire would we use? I have seen 250 ft spools of
wire, but would we not lose too much from a run of that length?

I'd run #12 wire for direct burial. Find out how far down it should go.
IIRC, 12" is minimum. I'd also put a receptacle at the end. You never know
when you may want to plug in an electric tool down there. You know to use a
ground fault also.
