Low voltage landscape lighting is mostly 12vac but there are low voltage dc systems. There are incadescent lamps made for dc voltage such as landscape lighting and for the marine industry.

100 of 14 awg copper 20 c gives you 260 milliohms of resistance and at 1 a would drop about 1 4th volt. Once your landscape lighting design is complete you can figure out what size of low voltage transformer you need. The ac skin effect is almost negligible at 60 hz so voltage drop along small conductors should be the same for ac or dc and depends on current and the conductor loop resistance. For pricing and availability.

Hampton bay low voltage 120 watt landscape transformer this landscape transformer is designed for 12 and 15 voltage led lights. Portfolio portfolio low voltage landscape flood light 296 lumen 8 5 watt specialty textured bronze low voltage led landscape flood light. Low voltage outdoor lighting transformers in single dual and multi tap in black or stainless steel in voltages from 12v to 22v and inputs from 120 to 277 volts. It was actually used in many old systems as it was much easier to create a 12vac transformer compared to a dc transformer and incandescent bulbs could care less about ac or dc power.

No low voltage ac lighting is not just used in landscape lighting to try and spite all those switching to leds. Transformers generally range from 150 to 900 watt capacity. It may be you are underpowered as low voltage systems are very sensitive to voltage drop on long runs.
