Review on UL Listed Low Voltage Landscape Wire For Outdoor Lighting - FIRMERST 16/2 Cable, 200 Feet by John Cox

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value and high quality - Spool broke in transit

I purchased 500 feet. The cost was the best I have seen for that amount. The wire / insulation was of excellent quality and was easy to separate between the wires to make connections and easy to remove insulation for transformer connection / attachment. Yes, as others have mentioned, the plastic spool gets broken in transit. Not sure the fault - could be the plastic / packaging, could be handling, could be a combination of both. This did create a pain in removing the wire from the spool in order to cut and lay-out the design. If this happens to you - find the ends and uncurl the wire from the spool. Then pull the wire away taking care not to allow more tangling or the wire to get tight around itself which will take time to straighten. For 10 minutes of hassle, I saved a lot of money on wire. Once I had the line straight and separated from the spool - the normal lay-out / design process was no issue. I will purchase from these folks again in a heartbeat. Marc - SC
