Another speaker wire possibility at Home Depot???

As an alternative to the "decorative" orange and gray stripe 12 guage wire that has been discussed in several previous threads, I am wondering whether anyone has used another 12 guage wire from Home Depot under the brand name Carol Landscape Lighting Cable. It is low voltage for use with 12-volt outdoor lighting systems, black casing with one conductor ribbed for polarity identification and much more flexible than the orange/gray extension cord wire. I intend to give it a try and will report back to this thread at a later date. Meantime, would welcome any comments and/or any experiences others may have encountered with this cable.

Actually, THHN can be broken down in the electrical codes for meaning (not in T H H N order):
Nylon Thermoplastic Jacket for dry locations, maximum conductor temperature 90°C dry location, 600 volts power, single conductor.
Comes in a variety of awg and strands. Primarily used for branch and feeder residential & com'l installs.
Good copper wire, a bit on the stiff side though -- probably works pretty good.
