Southwire 16LC10 16 Awg 2-conductor Direct Burial Wire 250 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 16LC10 is a 16-gauge, 2-conductor direct burial lighting wire sold in a 250-foot roll. This low-voltage wire is designed for underground landscape and outdoor lighting circuits, carrying power from a transformer to fixtures without conduit where direct burial applications are permitted. The 16 AWG conductor size suits standard low-voltage lighting loads across residential and light commercial properties. Licensed electricians and landscape lighting installers use this wire for permanent, buried fixture runs.

This wire is suited for outdoor landscape lighting systems, garden path lighting, uplighting, and similar low-voltage exterior applications where direct burial installation is required. The 250-foot roll length accommodates medium to large landscape lighting layouts with fewer splices. It is commonly installed with low-voltage transformers feeding multiple fixture runs across a property.

Key Features

• 16 AWG 2-conductor construction for low-voltage lighting circuits
• Direct burial rated for underground installation without conduit where code permits
• 250-foot roll minimizes splicing on longer runs
• Suitable for residential and light commercial landscape lighting applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct burial replacement or new-installation wire for standard 2-conductor low-voltage landscape lighting systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified lighting installer in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for low-voltage exterior wiring. De-energize the transformer completely before making any wire connections or splices. Bury wire at the depth required by local code for the voltage rating of the system. Avoid sharp bends or pinch points when routing through soil or under hardscape.
