Southwire 08LC10 8 Gauge 2-conductor Direct Burial Wire 250 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 08LC10 is an 8-gauge, 2-conductor direct burial lighting wire supplied in a 250-foot roll. This wire is engineered for underground installation without conduit, making it a practical choice for outdoor lighting circuits where cables must be routed below grade. The 8-gauge conductor size supports longer runs and higher-load lighting applications. Electricians and lighting contractors install this wire for landscape, area, and site lighting projects that require a durable, code-appropriate underground wiring solution.

This wire is suited for direct burial outdoor lighting installations in both residential and light commercial applications. Typical use cases include underground feeds to landscape lighting fixtures, post lights, pathway lighting, and similar low-obstruction outdoor lighting systems. The 250-foot roll length reduces the need for mid-run splices on standard site runs, supporting cleaner and more reliable installations across a range of project sizes.

Key Features

• 8-gauge conductors support longer runs and higher-load lighting circuits
• 2-conductor configuration for standard lighting circuit wiring
• Direct burial rated for underground installation without conduit
• 250-foot roll minimizes mid-run splices on typical site runs
• Sold in 250-foot order increments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style direct burial replacement or new-installation wire for underground outdoor lighting circuits requiring 8-gauge, 2-conductor cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for direct burial conductors, including minimum burial depth for the application and voltage class. De-energize the circuit completely before making any connections. Avoid sharp bends or kinking during installation, as this can compromise insulation integrity over the life of the installation.
