I know absolutely zip about them.

Installed about 25 lights in the backyard from these guys around 5 years ago. It has been pretty much flawless. https://www.voltlighting.com/
I took care to use grease caps on the connections between the main line and the lights. I also placed the connection points in plastic baggies sealed with electrical tape. I REALLY dd not want to have to dig them up in the future. Buried the line using a tool that is basically a wide, dull blade on a stick that you use your body weight to create a narrow trench in the lawn. Plugged the transformer into an outdoor outlet under my deck. measure your line run carefully, I had about 5 feet left from a 100 ft roll. Was pretty impressed with myself.  Good luck.
