What type/gauge wire for solar landscape (LED) wire replacement?
got these from Costco online: Westinghouse Deluxe Spotlight (model # 371102-78R)
i have limited specs on them,
I know the LED is equal to 5watt incandescent
and the batteries are 1200mah lithium...
and the cord that came preinstalled is like an RCA cable thickness (not Red/Yel/Whi but just one of the three)
but a rat chewed the cord so I gotta splice it and fix it.. I also wanted to go an extra 10 ft instead of the default 6 ft....
Any idea what cable I can get (i understand home depot/lowes will sell it) but I wanna just find some on ebay or amazon.. dont know what gauge etc to look for.. the regular cord looks like nothing more than the wire inside speaker cable.
Thanks!!!
I would use # 14 or #12 gauge wire and make sure the insulation is approved for "direct burial". Also, if you splice the wire use a splice kit suitable for the purpose. For the amount of wire you need I would just go buy exactly what you need because you're going to pay for shipping on top of the price of a small amount of wire if you get it online.
