    18/2? what is this good for?
    Did you look at the product page, at all?

    This is low voltage landscape lighting wire. Its direct burial wire for landscape lights (12v).

    yes, I know what is this for and I just finished installing 24 VOLT 12V lights…18/2 is really thin for even that purpose, you need 12/2 or 14/2

    Not for LED fixtures on shorter runs, 18/2 is fine.

    The fact that your stating two different voltages just shows you probably don't know what you're talking about. 24 volt 12v lights? Which is it? 12v or 24v? 24v driver with 12v lights running in parallel?

    For simple landscaping projects, assuming low currents like the case with low power LED lights, you can do a lot with 18/2.

    For reference, you have ETL certified 100' 16/3 power extensions rated for 10amps @ 125v or 1250w total continues power. I might not recommend it to run a toaster rated for 1200 watts; but if all you're running is a 100w TV outdoors, 16/3 is fine, even at 100 feet.

    I'm pretty sure he meant (24) volt lighting fixtures, that brand has pretty much become the most common high quality DIY brand. Yes he could have constructed that sentence better Smilie.

    I myself installed 20 brass low voltage step lights from volt last summer and am considering this deal https://slickdeals.net/f/17473014-volt-landscape-lighting-17-piece-path-area-light-led-starter-kit-costco-699-99 for my large hilly back yard. Each fixture is 5W LED and the line feeding 17 fixtures needs to carry over 7amps @ 12v not considering any drop in the wire itself. There are tons of voltage drop calculators, one popular one being: https://www.southwire.com/calculator-vdrop. Using 12v AC, allowing for a 10% drop (which is 1.2v) at 7amps will yield 8AWG for 100'. It is not so much as how much power you carry here. It is about voltage drop in landscape lighting. These LEDs are very sensitive to voltage and 10% drop is the max recommended. I'm not saying we need 8/2. Chances are the runs will not be a single linear run and spread out in a star pattern, reducing the max length for voltage drop. Also each leg in the star does not need 7amps. On the other hand, more connectors introduce voltage drops if not properly made. At the end of the day, 18/2 is definitely on the smaller size for landscape lighting.

    I hear you on the voltage drop issue. I yield back. https://i.slickdeals.net/images/smilies/emot-hug.gif Just feel like there has to be a better way, like installing AC outposts, and from there installing shorter DC runs. Looking at prices on Amazon though for 8-10 gauge, I guess it's nothing too crazy to spend $100-$200 for the appropriate gauge to get the job done right. Closer to $300 for 8/2.

    Ya, I was surprised by the wire sizes myself when I did my first landscape project. I used 10/2 as my main run and the individual Volt fixtures had long 14/2 leads which I connected to the main run. Incidentally, despite how highly praised Volt is, they always ship 14/2 for the main run in their kits which many folks replace with 12/2.
