How to design a 12-volt landscape lighting system
I have a 25 foot flagpole that I would like to illuminate - I think 2 50 watt spot/floods should do it. It is approximately 150' from my house & outlet, direct, but if I try to route the cable partially through flower beds instead of directly through the yard, the distance goes to 200'. Will I be ok with 12 gauge wire and a 100 watt transformer?John
Hello John,
You cannot safely run 100 watts on 12 gauge wire in a 200 ft straight line. However, this is permissible with a continuous loop.
Please read my helpful guide on how to design low-voltage landscape lighting system, including wiring tips and facts about supply cable.
Thank you for your business. Please feel welcome to write back or call.
