Stranded Two-Conductor Outdoor-Rated Wire for LED Lighting

If you are joining multiple strips of tape lighting, you may need more wire than is included in the kits.

14 gauge stranded two conductor outdoor-rated wire is supplied as a 26.2' (8m) roll. A good choice to minimize voltage drop over long runs, outdoor or indoor. Its two-conductor format is directly suited for use with white LED lighting (tape or spot). Although its stranded format is incompatible with the wire-ready connectors used for outdoor tape lighting, it can still be used to minimize voltage drop over long outdoor runs; just connect a short length of 18 gauge solid-core wire between it and the tape lighting. This wire is also well-suited to bridge long distances between the power supply and color controller of color-controlled tape lighting installations.

Note that outdoor installations or those in wet locations, like shower enclosures, require the use of outdoor-grade connectors and wire, in addition to outdoor-grade lighting.
