When should I use 16 AWG wire for landscape lighting?

16 AWG landscape cable is chosen based on load and run length: lower gauge numbers are thicker and better for long, high-wattage runs. Calculate voltage drop for your watts and distance; if the farthest fixture falls below the LED’s minimum voltage, move to a thicker cable or shorter home run.
