Calculating correct wire size for 12 volt outdoor lighting system

In 12 volt lighting, how far can I safely run 20-awg wire? (if a specific example is needed, use 13V, 3.5A transformer

20 guage wire is really too small for 12 volt applications. Check out our POWER CABLE CALCULATOR to see what works best for your application We also have a DESIGNING A LOW VOLTAGE LIGHTING SYSTEM page for more information on the subject. You should consider at least 14 guage wire for your project.
