The first number 12/, is the wire gauge.&nbsp; The second number/2, is the total number wire/cable runs attached together as a unit.&nbsp; Low-voltage applications require 2 wire/cable runs.&nbsp; One each to carry the power to your fixtures.&nbsp; 110 volt requires a 3 wire/cable run because building code requires a seperate ground wire that low voltage does not.</li> <li>Can be used to power our terrestrial &amp; aquatic lighting fixtures.</li> <li>Rubber insulation has 1 ribbed &amp;

It could be you overloaded the wire run with too many light fixtures, the wire size could be too small, and/or the transformer is being over worked because it is too small for the amount of lights it is powering.&nbsp; You could also try using bulbs with less wattage and see if that helps first.&nbsp; If not, then you will need to redesign your layout with larger gauge wire and larger transformers.&nbsp; If you have multible runs of wire, choose a transformer that has multible power taps.&nbsp; Use the HI setting for the long runs, and the LO setting for the shorter&nbsp;runs.&nbsp; This should help with the power loss you were experiencing.&nbsp; </font></li> <li><font color="#800000">At <strong>TJB-INC</strong>, anytime we are doing an installation with a&nbsp;moderate to long run of wire, we use the 12/2 gauge wire to be safe.&nbsp; If we are just going around a small to medium pond or short walkway/patio, we will use the 16/2 wire as long as the wattage draw from the bulbs <u>does not</u> go over 100 watts.</font></li> <li><font color="#800000">If you have more than 100 watts of draw, then run two or more runs of wire from the transformer to the lights and split up the wattage draw&nbsp;between the&nbsp;several runs of wire.&nbsp; As long as you do not go more&nbsp;90% of the transformer's rated wattage output, you can run as many power feed wires to the lights as necessary to split the load.&nbsp; When possible, try to even the wattage load between the power feed runs.</font></li> </ul> </P> <P> <LI>SKU: LV Cable 12,16 <LI>Size & Length of Wire =: 16/2 x 50';
