There is low voltage on the circuit, so wiring codes should not be an Yes, it is going to work fine as far as performance is concerned
So long as you start with the transformer with the writing as negative, then it will be fine. In other words, you should use the transformer with writing as negative - I opted for it, but others use it as positive. For some led lights, it does matter which one you use. In order to keep track of the transformer, it is a good idea to laminate a card with instructions and place it there.
Over the past 60 years, I have worked with electrical and electronic equipment, and I have seen every 120 volt commercial cord of this type used the ribbed lead for negative (the wide blade on the plug), even though it does not matter as long as the positive and negative are connected correctly. As for the cable, it won't know, but the device that it is powering might in order to be safe with AC and function properly
The copper looks to me like pure copper!
Selected User Reviews For FIRMERST 16/2 Low Voltage Landscape Wire Outdoor Lighting Cable UL Listed 50 Feet
Having used three rolls of this wire in a large landscaping project, I know there is no difference in quality between this wire and wire from The wire was blamed by some disgruntled people for their lights not working, but I believe their problems were caused by low voltage waterproof electrical connectors. Quite a few waterproof landscape wire connectors can be used with wires 12/2 and up. I have encountered this problem many times with wires sold by Amazon that are 18/2 or higher wire. Many of the landscape lighting wires are 16/2, but they are too large for many of the led lighting wires. * Br* Br* Br* Br* Br* Br* Br* Br* My Observations 1. Connect this wire to the low voltage light fixture using a 9-volt before you connect the low voltage light fixture . Battery with a voltage of 12 volts. Make sure each bare wire connecting the light to the 9v battery is touched. The one wire should be connected to the + and the other one should be connected Batteries have a positive side and a negative side. It is unlikely that you will get shocked by a 9 volt battery due to its low charge. You should see the light The light can be defective or there may be a problem with the 9 V battery. 1. . 2. A low voltage transformer should be connected to this low voltage wire. Lastly, 3. Two connectors per light should be used to join the wire to the works differently, so I can't tell you It is likely you can find a video on youtube showing how yours works if you are unsure. 3. )*3. 4. Connect - Put a 110 outlet on the low voltage transformer or low voltage wire. When the light does not come on, it means the "connector" was not working properly. Make sure the connector is plugged into an outlet again and the transformer is plugged in. I have encountered this problem many times and will say that if it still doesn't work, you most likely have the same problem. You connector probably connects with this wire just fine, but the wires from the light are much smaller and will not make a reliable connection with your connector.
I used a method consisting of removing approximately 1/3" of the wire coating from the light wire and twisting it back onto itself, creating a bare wire on the inside of the protective coating and a bare wire on the outside. Once you have connected your waterproof connector, make sure that all exposed bare wire is enclosed within the connector. Using this waterproof connector I bought on Amazon, I've been able to fix this problem each and every time I encountered it. As the author of this article is not an electrician, but just someone who has done several low voltage landscaping projects that have been successful. Along the way, I have picked up a few things that I would like to share with In general, low voltage projects are considered DIY because the voltage is so low that it is not regarded as However, the wiring must still be done correctly, and the connections need to be tight and waterproof, otherwise the lights will not I am unable to demonstrate low voltage wiring visually on YouTube, but there are many videos on youtube that demonstrate it. It is a good idea to watch these videos before you start working on a.
This cable can be used as the main supply cable for distances of up to 100 feet and a load of 50 watts. For longer distances, however, you should use either 12/2 or 14/2 as the main supply cable and this as an additional cable. It is time to branch out on 16/2. Generally, if you branch out, you'll reduce your voltage drop much more than if you had all the lights connected to one wire. It was a great choice to use this 16/2 cable to feed a branch line to the far reaches of my yard. I reduced the rating by half a star only due to the fact that it does not come on a drum and working with 100 feet is a bit difficult. The only difference is that it does not come in roll form. As a result, I am giving 5 stars.
These wires were used for the driveway gate I purchased from Ghost Controls. The wire is about 400 feet long and works well. Keeping the gate's battery supply charged and working is possible with this device. A perfect counterpart to the Ghost Controls wire for half the price! I would definitely recommend it!.
The 500 feet I purchased were from Amazon. I found this to be the best cost I have found for the amount I was considering. I highly recommend this wire / insulation because it was very easy to separate the wires in order to make connections and it was also very easy to remove the insulation for transformer connections / attachments. There are times when the plastic spool of yarn gets broken during transit, as others have noted. I am not sure which is to blame Perhaps the plastic or packaging is the problem, perhaps handling is the problem, or perhaps it is a combination of the two. In order to cut and lay the wire, we had to remove the wire from the spool - this was a very tedious task The design is out. you are affected by this, please You should be able to uncurl the wire from the spool when you find the ends. After that, pull the wire away, being careful not to cause tangling or get the wire tangled around itself, which will take time to straighten out. The wire saved me a lot of money for a small amount of time. After I had the wire straightened and separated from the spool, there were no more expenses. An ordinary layperson would do the following No problems were encountered in the design / build process. It would be a pleasure to do business with these folks again. This is Marc.
At Home Depot I could only get 75 feet for the same price. In the past, I have used it and have recently rewired a large section of my yard to eliminate a number of splices I had made to expand the system over time. My mind felt like it was in In addition, all in ground wires harden with age and become harder The product I purchased is of excellent quality and I highly recommend it.
In direct bury installations, it should hold up well. The wire appears to be of very high quality. I wish there were a way to connect to it using the 16 gauge Modtek Piercing Connectors that I bought for it, but the connectors are too small to be used safely. As expected, this outdoor wire is much thicker than what was expected. I recommend getting connectors for outdoor wire of 12/14 gauge. There was a problem with the shipment of my package. When the reel was opened, it was broken, but there was no damage to the box. The packaging (too loosely packed) or the package before it was shipped could be the cause for the damage. There were no loose parts of the reel in the box, which makes it hard to identify where the damage Despite this, it wasn't worth returning due to its difficulty in unrolling. I was able to identify and separate each wire once unrolled and laid out properly for easy splicing, minus the size, so the splicing process was a breeze once it was laid out.
An interesting observation was that one side of the spool (the wall) was missing. It fell off the spool, so the wire fell to the ground. The package was a mess when it arrived. Has it ever been a challenge for you to untangle fifty feet of wire? I am not the manufacturer of this product. We are talking about Amazon here. In fact, the side wall of the spool wasn't even inside It was probably just a case of someone not paying attention to the packing. Wire that is good and strong. In our review of Bit Amazon, we gave it a.
I ordered five spools of different sizes, but two of them came apart. The plastic spools have tabs on the top and bottom that hold them closed. It seems that when they are boxes for shipping, someone will pick them up at the end and the spools come.
