can it find buried lanscape lighting wires at about 2 feet?

Unsure about wire that may be burried. Suggest you call manufacturer and discuss with them for a definitive answer.

Don't know and doubt you could find them since they are integral to the light. If I were trying to repair one I would use a 60d spike and zip tie it to the light and nail it into the ground.

No, I think it might detect electric wires, hopefully but this model is just for studds, I could not make anything out of this so I drilled into concrete, make sure you set deep scan and hopefully it will find electricity but I don't know, I won't bet on it -

Wire on my unit is approx. foot long. Works well. This the second unit that I bought. First one was for my father who was elderly and could not turn on a lamp.

Return the product and find strips in 3 foot sections and a "Y" or multi connector to the lights

it's best if the wire is buried where people walk. it doesn't have to be buried to work. both ends of the wire connects to the rock and forms a loop. I initially tried to make a very narrow loop about 30' long and 5' wide but I believe the electric field from each wire cancelled the signal out. Frustrating to have the dog just sit on top of the wires and nothing happening. This is very nice solid core copper wire. I also tried braided speaker wire (works), and aluminum wire (works). both far cheaper alternatives.

Yes. I buried the wire about 4 inches deep. The instructions suggest no more than 6 inches.

I detected metal pipes approx 5 or 6 inches below the ground. Have never used for "treasure" hunting, only wire and pipe locator and it worked great

It has been some time since I purchased this product, but I seem to recall that 8 feet from the surface below it is recommended. I have installed similar lighting well above that height and they work well, but the sensitivity control requires adjustment for desirable operation.

The wire is about 10 inches, this is the only way to install. You can light up anything, you waste your money with ouick connector, just hard wire and seal.

The buried depth of the wire depends on local code and the pro-pointer probably isn't the right tool to find it.1) its detection depth is only a few inches2) the detection footprint is narrow, it is a pin pointer.3) it would be uncomfortable scanning any large area.4) you might be deceived into thinking there wasn't a buried run when in fact there was.

I would search for an outdoor rated wire. I wouldnt consider this to be an outdoor cable unless you are running it in a conduit. For your POE question that is better answered by your power source then factor in the frequency of the cable. Here is a calculator to help. http://beyond-wifi.com/poe/poe-calc.html

I have never used them for "in-the-ground" splices but, I would imagine that they would work just as well as the typical connector supplied w/low voltage lighting. However, I think it would be best to consult w/an experienced electrical contractor before attempting.

It depends on how deep it is buried. These devices are normally used to pick out a single cable from a bundle of wires. You may be better off with a metal detector.

Jason, you can safely add wire to a full length of 100 feet if neccesary. The signal is based on continuity, not any type of milli volts. Just make sure that you solder the connections and insulate them. Use silver solder.

Hi..probably not....but the wires are so small, being LED that they are easy enough to run and plug in without noticing the wire as long a you are willing to drill a few holes in your cupboard. I hid wire behind the edge of tile. They are amazing lights, way better than what my electrician had installed only a month before wth huge wires. I say buy them and see.
