Good product for my opinion

This wire is easy to work with! I used it to extend the wires on some low voltage floodlights that I purchased. Product is good but took forever to get it. Shipping was crazy slow!!Put my project WAY behind!

Pros
  • Great value for the money
Cons
  • Product is good but took forever to get it. Shipping was crazy slow!!Put my project WAY behind

The price was much better than at the big box stores. Received product in one day and the wire was very easy to work with. That's my review.

Pros
  • Muy buen precio y buen material excelente
Cons
  • Only comes in a single length of 200 feet

Good enough good for me

Ordered this wire for some landscaping lights. The wire didn't feel too cheap. Not sure about long term durability? But for my purpose it was good enough. I reccomend it.

Pros
  • Great wire. The raised edge and printing make it easy to maintain polarity
Cons
  • May not be suitable for underground installations

Excellent Low Voltage Wire

This is excellent small gauge wire for low voltage landscape lights at a good price. I got 100 ft whereas same price only bought 75 ft at Home Depot. I used it in the past and rewired a large section of my yard recently to eliminate a number of splices I had made to expand the system over the years. Frankly I had created a maze. Also all in ground wire hardens with age and becomes more difficult to work with. I am very satisfied and recommend this product.

Pros
  • Used as designed, for installation os low voltage lighting.
Cons
  • May not be as durable as some other types of outdoor lighting wire

Trust issue best in my review

Product is great. How can you mess up wire?I'll let you know! Revain promises delivery and didnt deliver as stated. How ever 24 hours later it was delivered. Simple! Dont make a promise you cant keep. Makes for a weaker trust issue.

Pros
  • This wire is easy to work with but not too thin as to break. Perfect for outside lights.
Cons
  • May not be as aesthetically pleasing as other types of outdoor lighting wire

Terrible reel - my new review

The reel is plastic and one side pops off and let's all of the wire fall off of the roll. This makes it a 2 person job to get wire unrolled. Total pain. Otherwise the wire works fine.

Pros
  • Good product packing hard to remove
Cons
  • May be difficult to find replacement parts or accessories

Good product but damaged

When received the box which contained two rolls it was very flimsy, when we unpacked it one roll was in tact and the one was all bent and the top was off of it. It's still usable but will be a pain to unroll because it's the roller is broken.

Pros
  • Get and easy to use to place camera away from a power souce. Plug and Play, it works perfectly.
Cons
  • May require regular maintenance to ensure proper function

Good wire. But I received a mess.

This came as a big ball of a mess. Remarkably one side of the spool (the wall) was gone. So the wire was falling off the spool. It came in a big mess.Have you ever had to untangle 500Feet of wire ?This is not the manufacturer. It is amazon. The side wall of the spool wasn’t even in the box. So whoever packed it was simply not paying attention.Good wire tough. Bit amazon earned the low score.

Pros
  • This is great for all my backyard lighting. I have this cable running underground with no conduit.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use with certain types of dimmers or controllers

Excellent Low Voltage Wire

This low voltage wire enabled easy installation of my Malibu lights lining my driveway. Black in color, it conceals easily beneath or alongside my weed control sheeting and black mulch. It unspooled and uncoiled easily and was easy to cut and splice as needed. One side of the wire pair carries subtle embossed labeling, making it easy to identify positive and negative strands along its entire length. I will be buying more as I expand my lighting system.

Pros
  • Works as it should. Very happy.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in extremely cold or hot temperatures

The cable works fine and seems well made.It is easy to identify one wire from the other in both ends. That is handy if you are using DC.I'm using batteries not a step down transformer.With either 12v or 24v battery the cable has a voltage drop of 1 volt in 100ft with a 20w led light. Consider that when connecting several lamps on the same cable string.One lamp gets dimmer if you connect a second one at 12v. If you try the same at 24v both 20w lamps work the same.It looks that I'm reviewing the…

Pros
  • Worked great for driveway gate opener.
Cons
  • May not be as reliable as other types of outdoor lighting wire

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…

Pros
  • Good quality and should last.
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all types of outdoor lighting transformers

working well so far!

Just installed my LED pathlights this weekend and had no problem using this cable. The lights are working well and will order again if I need to installs more lights.

Pros
  • I used it to run over 20 low voltage led lights in my yard with a 200 watt transformer.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in wet locations

Lighting the world - my new review

This is a very flexible lighting wire with silicone. Came with the end caps to make it neater and easier to put together. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • Only thing i don’t like is a mess when it gets to my house and i have to sit there and Untangle it!!
Cons
  • May be more expensive than other types of outdoor lighting wire

Exactly What It Claims To Be

100ft of 16-2 stranded copper wire, well insulated, one conductor ribbed for polarity. Not much else to say. It functions as you'd expect. One day shipping, arrived well packaged.

Pros
  • Very flexible cable great to extend from main cable
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use with all types of outdoor lighting bulbs

Good for outdoor lights

Works like you'd expect low voltage zip cord to work. Seems well constructed. Easy to work with. Would buy again. May be too thick for some types of outdoor lighting installations.

Pros
  • Great quality. Best price
Cons
  • May be too thick for some types of outdoor lighting installations

Good wire for driveway gate.

I used this wire for my Ghost Controls driveway gate. I used about 400 feet of the wire and it works great. It is able to keep the battery supply for the gate charged and working. This wire was half the price of what the Ghost Controls wire cost. Definitely recommend!

Pros
  • Works perfectly, no surprises, clean and simple to install
Cons
  • May not be able to handle extreme weather conditions

Landscape wire for my opinion

Good wiring easy to cut and durable had to buy a little more from the store. The store wire was very thick and stiff wire compared to what I bought. I liked this wire better than the store bought wire.

Pros
  • The product was as advertised. It worked out great
Cons
  • May require connectors that are not included with the product

Very good 16/2 wire

I used low voltage direct burial wire for electrical connections on my outdoor garden railway. I use it to carry power to low voltage LEDs in scale buildings on my layout. This wire works very well. Importantly it is very flexible and substantial. I have found this wire to be of very high quality, and at the same time offering excellent value.

Pros
  • Great for landscape project.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for harsh weather conditions
