Recomendations for UV resistant cord for outdoor sports lights

Hi all,
Bidding out the repair of existing outdoor sports field lighting.
Lights were wired with UF and it has degraded to the point of bare conductors.
Any recommendations on a better cable to survive the UV? Also a quality junction box to also withstand the elements.
Thanx in advance.

Better quality UF (which is supposed to be "sunlight resistant")? You can also get UV resistant SO and TC types if flex is needed. Or use LFMC with THWN wire and outdoor boxes. (What's the actual application? I don't think I've ever seen UF used for sports fields, it's always pipe of some form.)

There are lots of options.
