Scenario..25A fuse on 12Volt garden lighting transformer feeds 90 feet of #12 cable. At end of the #12 a 25 ft piece of #16 cable is attached then buried under decorative bark or mulch. on the end of the #16 is a lamp varying from 10 to 50 Watt (12V). My question... What if a short occurs at the end of the #16 with no protection except the 25A at the beginning of the #12 run. Where in the code is this permitted? I can not find any thing. I believe this to be dangerous.

Some decorative lighting is covered in Art 411. Have you reviewed it?
