Title: Power Cable
Post by: TexasStingray on July 22, 2012,

The Install Manual says "Remove the heavy power cable from the light and feed the pigtails and a cable to be used for as your 12v AC source through the same holes.", but it does not say what kind of cable to use for your 12v AC source. Any suggestions? What is everyone else using?

I just used some of the leftover SPT2 cord that I have been using to make my own extension cords.

I just cut some wire out of a dead computer power supply connectors.

When I purchased my landscape power supply from home depot I bought the recommended wire to connect the floods to the PS... it looks like spt2.

it has thicker insulation, and is a lower guage value.  i cut off a piece and connected it to the pcb.  i'm using the vampire-like connectors for landscaping lights to tap multiple aethers into that common PS source.
