Default ? about low-voltage lighting wiring

On 7/25/2010 2:56 PM Colbyt spake thus:

The low voltage stuff is designed to work with an oversized zip cord. That
is all it needs.


Well, OK, but what about burying it? exposure to sunlight?

Dim lights can be caused by corroded contact where the wire is bitten.


Problem is not dim lights. But that's just more confirmation why I don't
like those cheesy connectors that come with the LV fixtures.

A 200 foot run sounds a little long for most of those units.


I said the run was less than 200'; I just mentioned that because the
page I referred to (http://www.iaei.org/magazine/?p=2290) said that "12
AWG is recommended for runs up to 200 feet". So I should be fine with 12 ga.
